Stephanie Hurlburt asked for stories from developers about their career paths on Twitter, and it quickly became one of the best threads I’ve read in a while. As you can imagine, I have a particular interest in stories about other developers’ careers given my journey this year. This thread didn’t disappoint.

I started reading the thread when I woke up this morning and, boy, what a great way to start a day.

Twitter friends, I have a request of you.

If you got into computer science after undergrad or were self taught later in life and now work as a programmer, could you share your career story in a reply to this tweet? pic.twitter.com/fz9kBH7lAD
