>Except I hate people, which is why I work in tech.

I once met an older guy who was a software developer and asked him how he got into the field. He said that he'd originally received a doctorate in psychology and was a psychiatrist for years before he realized that most people don't want to be fixed. He said he'd got into programming because, "Computers always want to be fixed."



I wanted to reply psychiatrist/psychotherapist in this thread (most of my free time reading is about that).

And now I want to print out and put into a frame what you just wrote.

I still think people deserve a chance though.
