O'Reilly Radar has a fascinating series of articles that explore the personal history behind some of the so-called "alpha-geeks." Find out what motivated these achievers, and their sometimes surprising road into the world of computers, software and writing.
In the aptly named Burn In 0: How I Got Into Computers, Nathan Torkington (coauthor of the Perl Cookbook) sets the stage for the series, and tells his own story.
Perhaps the flipside of all this would be "burn out" -- or the stories behind those who turned their backs on high-tech careers. Any organic farmers out there?
