Oh I love your story, Daniel! And I love seeing people from other specialties pivot into coding. They bring such novel perspectives that the traditional academic background that many coders have does not. Wish you the best of luck on your journey into your first coding job! If you ever are stuck, reach out to our friendly dev community. 👍💯

Today young people can so easily change their profession, and I like it! I hope you like computer technology. The IT field is now much more dynamic and can offer you more opportunities for self-realization. However, the plumber's profession is also important. I like when specialists solve a problem with the logical approach, as you did. The last time we had a clogged sewer, we turned to a local plumber that is honest and reliable. I also liked his approach. He did everything carefully and then explained to us what the problem was. I hope that your IT career will be successful. Thank you for sharing your story.
