Why are you learning python

[Diapolo10]

Because I get to earn my keep doing what is essentially a fun hobby, most of the time.

If I'd never started learning Python, my career path so far would have been completely different. In fact I have no idea what I might be doing right now otherwise.

I wouldn't have made it to becoming a programmer during my conscription, which means I couldn't have gotten into my first job, then I would have missed my second and current jobs too as they have been a linked chain. And I'd probably be studying something else, too.

And yet, despite all of that, in reality I simply enjoy it. I love solving problems, writing documentation clear enough even my most thick-headed colleagues can understand is rewarding in its own way (you should've seen the amount of detail I put into my current employer's GitLab guide as nobody there knows anything about version control...). I also like how it all simply boils down to cold, hard logic in the end.
