Reservations

I was very interested in computers in my youth, but then life happened. I got distracted by other things. By the time I got back to it everything had changed. And I think that's a danger with the field, there's no way to know everything about it because everything is constantly changing, even within a small domain of it. The whole thing can be very intimidating. And that's me who had an early exposure to it. I can't imagine what the prospect would look like if I would never have had those early experiences. And I did take an intro class not so long ago to act as a refresher course for me. Even still, the more you learn, the more you learn that there is to learn. I think to come at computer science, one has to become comfortable with being a perpetual novice, relatively speaking.
