"Not consider nor try it" means that she doesn't have interest in programming. You don't need anyone's opinion to start programming or knitting, or learning Mandarin. If you like it, you do it for yourself, and then someone starts paying money for things that you know and love.

P.S.: it's funny but I knitted. My aunt taught me and I knitted a scarf. It rolled up and became a tube, and I lost interest after that fail. :-)

That's funny, I knitted too when I was a kid. It didn't last very long either. I think I was about 8 years old.

I have to agree: if you like something, you just do it. But I guess a lot of people just can't bear to do anything without getting approval from their social circle first.
