Proud of your journey and your dedication to learning and continuous improvement. The world needs more people like you. Coding can be boring if you treat it as a job. Treat it as a means to solve problems. Tech and software are always innovating on ways to do things more efficiently. This makes it exciting. I have been coding for 20+ years and still enjoy it.

Do check out Devopedia. We don't try to sell stuff. Just sharing useful info for developers.

Thank you so much! I really believe that knowledge is power, and if used and applied to everyday life there is no way to not succeed. Coding would be awful if you just treated it as a job. Coding is so much more than that. The possibilities are endless and I find that fascinating. My favorite thing to do is access and absorb as much information as I can. I could never have a career somewhere that I could learn everything about it, if that makes sense. Like you said you've said you've been coding for 20+ years and still enjoy it, and I bet you still learn new things too. You can never learn everything there is to know about Tech and software, especially considering it is forever evolving and that is my favorite thing about it. There is so much information just waiting to be absorbed and it's so fulfilling to me.

Thank you for recommending Devopedia. I will definitely be looking into that. I had no idea how many different communities there were for developers. (I guess I should have assumed that since we all live on computers, but never thought about it I guess. LOL) I am so thankful to have found all of you wonderful people!
