the startup company i work in uses 6 different programming languages, which makes me feel what you argue here. to add, markup languages are fun and contrubiting also, particularly devops developing with yaml and composing Docker components makes you think in a different organizational mindset than other programming domains

I've become a software developer; before that, I used to be an English instructor at a university, and sometimes I did translations. I have several ideas in my minds, like developing an app that would make me rich. This is basically why and how I started it. CS50 Open courseware was the starting point; then Stack Overflow, YouTube and free code practice platforms followed, and they were all good during 8 or 9 months. I spent 4 to 6 hours a day, excluding breaks and weekends; so, if you have a decent English, Internet connection and some enthusiasm, then you can build any skill in very short time (maybe, this way of thinking is because of being a teacher). I landed first job I applied after 30 mins. Maybe I was a bit lucky, too

That's a really interesting point of view; what you say is like astrology or such tests are deliberate designs of people (probably, of higher minds in a given society) that regulate or benefit life; but still, I think this'd be rather one of effects of practicing astrology or other non-scientific inquiries than the main cause of them. I'd like to see whether what you claim relies on a theory or research.
