I've been working has a web developer for two years after completing a bootcamp.
Peoples often ask me questions because they think about doing the same.
I always say to them that this is not for everbody, you are banging your head against the wall most of the time.
Off course nothing beat that sensation when you finally found the problem or even when you get closer.
I have this theory about very smart peoples. Intelligence is about making connection. When you're smart you're very good at it. Sometimes too good.
If you don't use you critical mind it's easy to fall in the trap on conspiracy theories.
I know a couple of very smart people's that believe the most outlandish stuff cause "they just can see it"
And I know it happen to me in the past. I guess it's a double edge sword.
I've been coding for a bit more than two years, then I decided to finally learn vim.
I honestly don't know how I did before, it's just so satisfying!
It's not even as hard as they say.
+1 for vim adventure, definitely great learning ressources!
Range is a very interesting book. Has a generalist I felt inadequate for a long time when I was younger (the pressure being find a domain and stick with it).
I wish I had read something like this 10 years ago.
