My dad: “you’re so logical I’m amazed that you’re not more interested in mathematics”
Me: “you could absolutely derive the mathematical description of a solution to a jigsaw but doing all those sums isn’t half as interesting as picking the pieces up, and feeling and seeing if they fit together, watching the picture slowly reveal itself with each right answer”
This is kinda difficult for me because I love programming - it’s a tool I can learn a structured and logical set of control commands to use to create things and do things with immediate feedback
But I’m not all that interested in the underlying mathematics of the computational problems. I love thinking in systems, not specific equations
I’m not very good at visual artistic output though, so design isn’t really the alternative for me
It makes it hard to find a niche within software, because I love writing code, I just much prefer working at the highest possible level of abstraction for any given thing
