As a child I don't believe that I set out with the goal of "becoming a software developer". Indeed, such jobs barely even existed at the time. However, through play and experience I may have noticed that I had certain skills, and later noticed that these might be useful in particular kinds of situations. This doesn't seem to be a situation in which there was a well defined goal tree in advance, which I was simply moving incrementally towards - although many people might like to give such a whiggish impression in biographies or CVs. Rather there were various ideas and technologies developing at the time, some of which were transmitted to me and were able to use me as a P2P host for further propogation. ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=111637683-c8fa51 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
