I kept thinking of this quote that had touched me as a teenager:
Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow. - Dan Rather
I watched men much braver than I try to save as many as they could and was humbled by the what I did for a living. I’d spent years helping sales teams improve their numbers and build accounting systems to keep a watch of money and I felt like I should be doing something better. I attempted to find work doing something related to the intelligence community or public service but without a college degree I wasn’t going anywhere.
Much of the last eleven years has been a yearning to find work that mattered. I still haven’t found it but my sincere hope is that by teaching developers of every kind that I am doing something small to make the world a better place.
