It's really awesome you're making stuff online so early in your life. Keep going and you will be way more successful than most of us.
If I may, I'd like to offer some constructive criticism, however. The tone of your posts is a bit instructional (self-help-esque) and comes across as marketing. This is why some people are being dismissive of your writing. I'd consider softening up the tone to be more personal and authentic. Personally, I am very interested in your honest perspective on web development and self-directed learning.
Best of luck!
- joshternyak 6y agoThanks so much for the advice. I will definitely change the style of my writing and make it authentic. My next post will be about how I am transitioning into paid work even though I am not legally allowed to sign contracts.
- yetanothermonk 6y agoNot OP, but thanks for being constructive and not dismissive. Struck a great balance, clearly empathetic. Team zumu.
- nnoitra 6y agoWhy, is there a threshold of making stuff that once you cross you are "more successful than most of us"?
- zumu 6y agoI can't speak definitively to numbers and can't judge success in any sort of quantitative way, so take that comment with a grain of salt. But I can say starting programming early in life is definitely a big leg up on others in the field.
