Gahhh, can&#x27;t wish enough that I got into this earlier. Graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering, worked for a year at a startup, took a year off to take the plunge into programming. Getting my feet wet with webdev right now. Plan is to get into C++ as it seems that&#x27;s where the industry is heading with VR, AR, robotics, and web assembly.<p>I was actually wondering if you did something prior to programming thinking that it may have influenced your wife range of fields. I think coming from mech eng is probably the reason why I feel the need to understand how the whole system works.
