The other day I realized I could – technically – call myself a Professional Programmer.
One day I might be able to call myself a Computer/Computing Scientist. Sounds weird as hell.
I expected it to be different. Like, when I could call myself a professional, it’d be when I could grow a big manly pile of facial hair, I’d know what to do with my hair, and I wouldn’t be afraid of girls. I thought it would feel entirely different; but, it doesn’t. I still feel like I did more than ten years ago when I would stare at myself in the mirror, blink the moments away, and watch my body grow taller.
I think I’m missing something.
I can’t picture myself as a Computing Scientist. Better get started on becoming overlord of a small country.
…
Or I’ll conduct an orchestra.
Remember the feeling of your mind being alone. But beware of the nostalgia hiding in the closet and under your bed.
