After several years dabbling with back-end languages and computer theory in my free-time without shipping anything, I have been surprised very recently by how much I enjoy learning front-end, especially for this. I can ship very small snippets of personal projects and get a real world feedback quite easily, which in turn fuel my motivation to keep coding. I feel it will be very fun and rewarding to add my back-end knowledge as soon as I will be able to.
So I second the great conclusion by the author : find stepping stones to ship frequently (and keep contact with potential customers), even if it is not exactly in your favourite field.
- mablopoule 3y agoThis visual feedback is exactly the thing that hooked me on coding in the first place, seeing your seemingly abstract C code turning into a cute "hello world" executable files. Specializing in web front-end stuff was an obvious logical continuation of that, thank you for reminding me :).
