The Nurture Your Passion pattern is about how important it is to protect and grow your passion for software craftsmanship even in some environments where it might not be supported. This pattern also talks about the challenges that people as software developers face in certain environments where their passion for the craft isn’t supported. Not only does it acknowledge the challenges faced by software developers in environments that may not fully support their passion but also provide strategies to navigate and thrive in those situations. Use certain strategies to protect and nurture your passion by working on what you like and drawing your own career path. The pattern shows that the real challenges that software developers face are when their passion for coding isn’t given its due, so they use a strategy to make their work more passionate.
