A very inspiring story, and lots of great advice at the end as well. Especially about building support and rapport with people in your local community, since those are often your strongest assets. As someone who also made a similar career transition (from journalism to coding) I'm familiar with many of those hurdles. Persistence and self-acceptance were often my greatest weapons.
