People love listing “reasons” why someone shouldn’t go into tech. Most of them don’t really hold up.
Procrastination?
Yes, tech is largely self driven. No one will babysit your growth. That part is true.
But what actually sustains progress isn’t brute discipline it’s interest. When you’re genuinely curious, focus follows naturally. Discipline alone rarely survives long without some level of passion.
Shyness and discomfort with self promotion?
That’s not a blocker. Plenty of people in tech are introverted.
You do need to learn how to communicate your value, though. That skill matters everywhere, not just in tech. Being shy doesn’t disqualify you; refusing to learn doesn’t help you anywhere.
You must be visible.
This is often overstated. Visibility helps, sure but it’s not a universal requirement, and it’s not the same for every role or path.
Impatience?
Tech can demand long hours and persistence, especially early on.
Still, there’s more than one path in and more than one pace. Impatience alone isn’t a reason to opt out if you actually want it.
Inconsistency?
Now this one matters. Progress compounds only when effort shows up repeatedly. No way around that.
Being nonchalant or slow to respond?
That’s not a flaw. For some people, it’s even an advantage.
The idea that “if you’re not instantly available, someone else takes your spot” is exaggerated in most real world situations.
There’s no personality checklist that determines who belongs in tech.
What matters far more is how you approach the journey, not who you are.
If you’re drawn to it, pursue it seriously. You might find exactly what you’re looking for.
If it doesn’t work out, take the lessons, move on, and don’t call it wasted time.
There are countless paths, countless fields, and countless ways to succeed.
Your personality won’t decide your fate your strategy will.
@Bloseptnew If you want to be worshipped, the best for you is to turn to a stone or any none living thing of your choice. By that whoever which to will start with red oil 🚶
