As a late-bloomer programmer who hasn't yet found a 'niche' to love, I have a genuine question for those who are passionate about network programming.

What attracts you to network programming?

Thank you.

I just like making things talk to each other, particularly things that were never designed to talk to each other.

Interesting. If you don't mind me asking, what kinds of things have you made talk to each other that weren't originally designed to talk to each other?

Usually make retrocomupters talk to modern networks or modern computers talk to retro networks.

Admittedly I haven't programmed much in a while outside work, but have a number of backlogged projects including an H.320 (ISDN videoconferencing spec) to discord bridge.

Most of my ideas, are useless and kinda dumb, but fun.

The nerd in me thinks it's very cool. :)
