Heading back to uni for a Master's was a massive leap, but I was dead set on figuring out the messy human side of engineering. It's cracking open the psychology of cognitive load to understand why we developers actually tick the way we do. Turns out, solving the tech problems is the easy bit; it's the people side that's properly fascinating.
