I started after doing 3x 6 hour homework assignments in a row that got ignored and thinking that was such a waste of my time. At the same time I tried to see it from the companys perspective that they did want to see some sort of evidence that I could code.

I continued coz it was fun seeing the stars rack up and coz it did seem to give me a mild professional boost.
