Speaking from my own set of Shoes, some part of it is about being
attracted to something with discernible patterns.. predictable
patterns.. I don't know, words aren't quite pulling together this
morning, but..
Math and computers..
Maybe "logical" is the word I'm looking for.. If one has followed a
[building block] type of learning path for either Math or computers,
they're both actually... fun because they *can be* predictably
logical..
That is, if one has taken the logical path of learning either subject
via a [building block] type of education rather than trying to jump
off into the very deepest end first. *shakes head at self*
PS Linux From Scratch.. LFS.. I WISH I had found that first 20 years
ago before all others. It would have made a lot less sense (to me) in
that order, but all others after that would have made A LOT MORE sense
in its shadow. I think I learned about LFS from Kernel Newbies, from a
suggested further readings list or something, now that i think about
it, too. #ThankYou! :)
