I don’t really have big goals or accomplishments. I code mostly because it’s fun. It’s my escape from depression and stress. I’m an antisocial person I’m quiet, shy, and not very good at talking to people everywhere I go.
At work, I talk to a few people, mostly a couple of women I sit with during breaks. We usually talk about what I do on the computer and about coding. Because of that, they’ve started to see me as an interesting guy.
What really motivates me to code is that it’s challenging. I like problem-solving and figuring things out. That’s also why I quit school my classes didn’t challenge me, and there was no real problem-solving. I was almost done with school, but I decided to stop and learn something I actually wanted to learn instead of wasting time.
That’s my story of how I got started. Now it’s your turn.
same here brother
what’s ur current level in programming.
I code also for fun. Coding has changed some aspects of my life
Your story is the same story as mine except I am a lady. I started coding after a 6-year stint transcribing and captioning tons of dev courses online. I was in another country and looking for work and I remember applying to tons of jobs and they all had this tech aspect and requirement that I didn’t have or know that I had. I started exclusively studying in October of 25 and now I have my foot in the door and my little antisocial cube far on the other side of the building and I am happy for once. I still have quite a way to go, but I am excited for each thing that I learn. I look forward to working with you all in solving some of these problems.
Isn’t it weird how everyone feels the same? As for me - I started coding since I became a mom and my job has become unsafe. All I want is a job opportunity where I can hopefully at some point work from home, so I can be there for my girl. Cause really thats just all I want. Coding has been alot of fun and a way to maybe realize some ideas I’ve had in my head, even though I barely get to spend 10 minutes a day. I started October last year I think and finally reached JavaScript. It’s not easy to find time to do it, but everytime I solve a little puzzle I’m content that … I at least achieved a tiny little piece of progress today.
