I always thought I’d become either one of the greatest swimmers of all time or a musician who lived on stage. But life had different plans—somehow, I ended up becoming a software developer.
Do I regret it?
Absolutely not.
Even though I didn’t become a professional swimmer or a full-time musician, those passions are still part of who I am. They shaped me, and they’re still with me in their own way.
So now I’m curious: What about you? What did you want to become before life steered you toward development?

My dream was: I am will be a game developer ( around 1980 ) ... and now my dream is to rebuild my old house ( 1859 ).
That is really good, I just encourage everyone to continue what their dream was. No matter what the age you are at, just do it. This is how we enjoy ourselves. Thank you for sharing your dream with us.
What an inspiring post! Love how you show that early passions like swimming and music can still shape a developer's journey. Uplifting, honest, and motivating—fantastic read!
Thank you for your comment. We need to find time what we like to do. So, just we got to pursue what we dreamed of.
