D1 : Before adolescence, I was not privileged enough to have a technical introduction to engineering - I was mostly led to focus on science and the humanities.
D2 : As a teenager, I had a keen interest in computing, but it was not a central focus of my studies - there were a lot of more fundamental concerns in science, the arts, and history, which I had not yet grasped to my satisfaction. I was able to complete work on these fundamentals to my satisfaction around the age of 20. After that I turned to focus on commerce.
D3 : In studying commerce, I found that most roles were sundry, and that only directors held roles of general strategic value. I also confirmed that many people did not understand technology - so I made a point to spend a few years studying software development, in order to have a comprehensive grasp of how to manage technology teams.
D4 : This proceeded until I was about 30, then I sought to spend a decade studying the non-software aspects of commerce. The bulk of the next decade was spent on governance, accounting, talent management, interaction design, and marketing.
D5 : A the beginning of my fifth decade, I am studying macroeconomics, decentralised finance, and I hope to also cover some electronics and physical conditioning concerns. As I reflect on the strategic arc of my career, I wonder if I spent too little or too much time studying software. So far it seems "just right", since whenever I read about software implementations in de-fi, I can roughly understand how the protocols and structural components work, without being able to expend energy to read every line of code.

Life is a gamble.
