Not to say that everyone can do it, but software development seems to offer the most level playing field than any other career - and it's only getting better!
The fact that it's possible for someone in any part of the world, with minimal resources (a laptop and an internet connection), to not only learn software development but also actually earn a decent living and level up seems to me the best part about this line of work.
I have a saying to anyone who wants to get into the field.
That it takes only 3 things:
time
grit
an internet connection
Each person might require different amounts of each, or lack access to one or more of them. But to those that have those three it really can work with enough time and effort. :)

And I'm very grateful to be a part of it. 😇
