I work at a music software company. I’ve been playing music my whole life, my work feels like an extension of that.

An observation: a lot of programmers get into it because they are interested in programming itself. Entering the industry can be frustrating because it is no longer about programming, it’s a means to an end.

Nothing wrong with being interested in programming (it’s what makes you good at it) but it helps to have an end you care about as well.
