Do we truly ever grow up? I don't think so, at least not for me.A childish mindset for an adult is often a negative connotation. However, we are quick to dismiss the benefits. American record producer Rick Rubin once said, "A lack of knowledge can create more openings to break new ground." My adolescent years were filled with ignorance working through different drum patterns and piano chords, re-configuring my faulty English with a speech therapist, and exploring the cornfields across our yard looking for any hidden treasures. As an adult, not much has changed.Over two decades of music production and songwriting has put me in the same room with Grammy award-winning engineers and producers, yet every single one of us is "still figuring it out". 4+ years of banking as a teller and customer service representative has added to my personable communication skill point total, even though I still Google "how to be more relatable" from time to time.These experiences have set me up to enter the world of software development. It has become my new cornfield, breaking new ground in languages like Java and JavaScript, except the treasure I've found in it has been how it soothes my adolescence with the study of new concepts and theory and connecting with other developers and their ideas. Even if I have to utilize multiple search engines to figure out the frameworks, this is a lane that galvanizes me (yes, I googled it) and I plan on making it an ever-lasting journey, as long as I never have to grow up.
