It's really not that interesting. My background was vaguely publishing -- paste-up(!), editing, photography -- and I got into scripting early. I made reasonable money from it for a few years, but more importantly it gave me the ability to be self-employed. That turned out to be a very poor move financially in the long term, but a winner in so many other ways. I call myself semi-retired, which sounds nicer than under-employed, and scripting helps keep the wolves from the door.
I didn't have a programming background, and I'm sure I'd never have made the move if it weren't for AppleScript's approachability, but perhaps more importantly the generosity of people like Jon and many others in places like this. I figure I'm repaying a debt, and that that gives me licence to indulge in occasional bursts of provocation. Oh, I enjoy it, too.
