Just to give you some perspective, I'm 24, have been coding for 6 years, got my first real job recently and I don't have much to show for it except my current job. That's fine by me. If you can already make a living, sometimes the hard part is to sit back and relax, and enjoy life. The only thing that I'm really proud of is a small Go application (90 lines of code) that automates some manual work for my mother. Almost anybody could have written it, it's not complex at all. I could have written it when I was 15, and certainly didn't need 5 years (that actually took 8) years of studying for this. But I did write it, and now she spends less time doing tedious manual work. It really makes me proud. Way more than getting a master's degree, way more than getting a job, way more than doing good at my job.
