That's a calling for sure, is where you mind sees it self finding a conduit for self expression. Do try it! It's a beautiful art form! And don't have to drop everything to make it, it can be a hobby (for now), but try it.

The romanticize take is a calling for life. But we humans are changing machines, and what's true to some it can be so different to others.

I had "burst of interest" to make fermented food in 2018-2019, like a crazy fever to understand kombucha/sauerkraut, etc. I freaking love it.

Now in 2022-2023 it's the compost calling. A compost is so simple, but if you want it to have it in the shortest time, with the best quality, and without any stench, you actually have to put some thought into "what goes into it".

Anyway, silly examples but hope that helps in some way.

Yes, you're 100% correct, I do consider Software Development an art form (self expression).

I self expressed the most with drawings in my childhood, and I had this association in my mind with art/drawing/architecture.

In my late 30's I've taken to drawing again and consumed more architecture content to settle this matter in my head.

Short interesting story: My mom is an Architect, one day when I was about 8 or 9 she said: don't be an Architect, you won't get paid fairly (developing country). It got burned out in my mind, like a command. And slowly moved to "Don't do art stuff". I stopped drawing and started using computers more and more.

Only in my adulthood I started to explore Architecture, and ooohhh boy, I freaking love it. And I would have loved worked with my mom, taking clients, etc.

So, just be careful on what you say to your kids about a career, or how you say it.

I'm not complaining btw, just a fact of life from a very simple comment mom made one random day.

Finally understood inheritance concept (OOP) using the examples in the documentation of Delphi 7 (I miss .chm files).

"TObject is ancestor of all objects and components", it all made sense just with that.
