I now code.
In school, I tried to learn to code several times. But I always stopped, I think because I didn't have any desire to build things that didn't make a "product".
I learnt to code when I had something to make that would make my life easier.
- dhruvkar 10y agoExactly this. Tried learning to code many times over the last 10 years. I stuck with it only when I had a scoped personal project that happened to fit my skill-set, while stretching up to (but not hitting) the point of being overwhelmed.
- acidburnNSA 10y agoI think I got lucky in 7th grade when my friend thought it'd be funny to phish his cousin who I had a huge crush on. I had to learn some perl to do it. We pulled it off and now I code all day for work and many nights for pleasure. Romantically it did not go so well.
