What’s one piece of advice you can give to young people interested in a career in programming?
Find something you enjoy doing. You’ll spend more time doing it, so you’ll become better at it, and then you’ve got a competitive edge. Plus, having fun doing it means you’ll have more fun!
Don’t do something you don’t enjoy just because it looks lucrative — that’s where the competition will be fiercest, and because you don’t enjoy it, you’ll lose out to others who are more motivated.

Great answer. Very wise. Good job.
