the education system failed them, teaching in a way that’s not enjoyable.

Yeah, pretty much. I had to learn a ton of math, where I never got explained what it could be used for. And when it can be applied in an obvious way, namely physics, most of the complexity lays in memorizing a ton of one-letter-abbreviations and formulas, which feels pointless, too.

I’m a programmer now. That was always easy to me, because the best way to learn that is by gradually solving harder puzzles. You don’t just sit in a classroom and get told all the solutions to all the puzzles…
