Yes, I just happened to turn up in a world where it's needed. There's no other language used for absolutely everything.
Sometimes you want to do a thing not yet knowing anything, and you need to find path towards it. "Starting somewhere" doesn't work for everyone, especially, say, with executive dysfunction where what you are doing should have a clear connection with some goal, or be clearly a goal in itself, otherwise you'll achieve nothing.
I guess I'm arguing in favor of computing in general being again more friendly to autistic people, which, eh, is as good as fighting windmills.
Autistic coders are only slightly more rare that autistic rail fans. There's no shortage of you guys in the field.
"Understanding the whole stack" would, necessarily, be the second kind of goal. And you'll never get there as the field is evolving under your feet.
