It's wonderful how included and valued nerdiness is these days. Being interested in anything non mainstream in the conformist 80's was hell outside of a tight friend group.
By tenth grade I had been commissioned to write some software. When I completed it, I walked away from all of it because of the social stigma. Didn't touch a computer again for ten years. I won't say I regret that because walking away led me to other life adventures, but I will say I regret the circumstances that drove me to do it.
