I find programming itself incredibly creative and fulfilling.

Most of the operations-related tasks. I don’t enjoy them, but I have to do them so that the company doesn’t implode.

You just need to put yourself out there the worst case is you will get rejected but you will get a lot more opportunities that you would if you just never really put yourself out and it may not be an easy thing to do to step outside your comfort zone and really put yourself out there.

What I learned is that passion is like a great thing. But it's great because it actually just allows you to do all the hard work that you actually need to do to become really great at what you do. Because it's not like passion is going to be what you need to then put into the actual work.
