What is this about? 🥱
In my opinion, the point of writing a blog is to document your journey and share it with other people so hopefully...

Such a great and awesome post for those who want to take their career start from programming. I am appreciating your effort for creating this post.

Thank you very much! Really means a lot.
Some good points haha, I pretty much agree with them all.
I think a lot of what gives the impression of software development being difficult is its absolute, deterministic nature. That is, things either work or they don't. There usually isn't much area in-between.
If you're new you're going to be on the receiving end of "not working" a lot more, and that can be incredibly demoralizing causing most people to give up. So in this sense maybe it's a filter for the most determined/dogged/persistent moreso than the most intelligent.
Very well said. Agreed!
I wanted to be a programmer but I ended up fixing printers.
great blog thnx :)
if I were asked that question, I'd answer with "grit". Personally, I find that it's the most necessary trait to have, given how much frustration and anxiety you would face along the way.
Great article Antonio, keep it up!
Looking to make a career shift to tech. This is exactly the kind of series I need 🙌
Thanks and keep up the content!
Yeah it's true and one thing at a time!
Yup, just give yourself time!
Amazing points, "matter of a decision" reminds me of how indecision slowly turn me into something Non-programmer. Thanks!
Reminds me of the Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years by Peter Norvig.
Never heard about it - thank you for sharing :)
