Since I'm in the middle of a huge transition, I question my employability. I hobby program (now in VB.NET and C in addition to python) and love it. I'm taking Electronic engineering and I am up in the air about what specifically to pursue. I'm hoping things work out for me in the same principle as they have with you. -Sween Hey Will,

It’s quite encouraging for me to see what you’ve written about something you do as a hobby driving what you do as a career. Since I’m in the middle of a huge transition, I question my employability. I hobby program (now in VB.NET and C in addition to python) and love it. I’m taking Electronic engineering and I am up in the air about what specifically to pursue.

I’m hoping things work out for me in the same principle as they have with you.

I like very much you Carrier Pondering post, it's really motivating for someone that it's just starting. I've programming for quiet a long time in the "wrong" place, let's say micro* technology, until I found involve in Linux and open source. I get on to python by a Friend who told me about Plone.. just a coincidence in fact. Since then, i really enjoy making OS and i definitely like to have personals projects. Well, my first steps on programming where in QBasic on a Hard Disk Less 486DLC... really old times.. I'll post some of that ugly code some day.. Bye ! keep posting ! Good blog you have.

I was quite happy doing freelance work for all manner of .coms, and then along comes someone interested in hiring me full time, completely based on work I had done in my free time. I hadn't ever reflected on that fact that I too have had my career COMPLETELY influenced by my personal projects. You aren't the only one! Paul Will-
