Don't become a developer, get into security.

I also got into CS by hacking iOS. And now I hack iOS apps for a living

If you already know how to write Cydia substrate extensions and use cycript you have a head start on most people in my company who wanted to get into iOS security. The skills you learned for hooking Apple's APIs to change the colors are the same skills you need to hook into apps and bypass controls.

Have you ever tried hacking any games you play on iOS to cheat?

Nailed it. This ama is going exactly how I expected it would.

The culture there is absolute shit. It's filled with. Pretentious douchebags.

Obviously he should do what makes him happy. I'm just giving advice because a lot of people don't think about security as an option because of the emphasis on development jobs in most CS departments. Security courses are only just now starting to catch on in universities for undergrad, and they are almost always electives.
