I got into Computers too Early

I made the transition from being an Electronic Engineer to Software Developer in 1980. When I should have waited until 2010.

A difference of 30 years, which in today's fast-changing world is practically forever.

I want to comment on the phrase "fast-changing world". We do live in a fast-changing world, something Human Beings are poorly adapted to. We were formed in a world that evolved slowly, over millions of years.

The world we have now is stressful, and we do not like it. We are attracted to dictators, who promise to turn back the clock for us.

This is what happened in the 20th Century, and the first part of the 21st. We made a very determined effort to mess things up. And we have succeeded at this.
