I find IT to be an amazing field. There are so many parts to it that take tremendous dedication to fully understand, yet, each part works together.

Teams of people dedicated their entire life to software development, which would be impossible if teams of people did not dedicated their entire life to the development of operating systems. That would be impossible if teams of people did not dedicated their entire life to integrating hardware and software. That again would be impossible if teams of people did not dedicated their entire life to electrical engineering.

I know I missed tons of subfields that link everything together, but just the massive amount of dedication and teamwork to make something as simple as a console application work properly is amazing. I wish I could understand it all and I hope everything will always be as easily accessible my entire life as it is now.

    This is probably not amazing to everyone, but it is to me.

    It can be applied to all parts of life, not just IT. Someone who does landscaping relies on the hardware store to have shovels. The hardware store relies on the factory to produce the shovel. The factory and hardware store rely on the shipping companies to deliver the shovel. The shipping companies rely on the gas stations to have gas for their trucks and the engineers to make the trucks. The cycle goes on.

    I feel like this is dumb, but I guess I am feeling a but philosophical today :)

    This also makes me feel like a bottom feeder, like some dude used a bunch of tech to build a pacemaker, and here I am creating urgency for people to buy cheap toasters and shit...
