I'm a self-taught dev focused on websites and Python development.
My friends call me the "Data Genie".
When I get bored, I find tech to read about, write about and build things with.
I started coding because it was part of a request from my manager. I got board and discouraged because I couldn't do anything with it, I had no one to code side by side with and I was not practicing what I learnt on code academy so I forgot it.
But then I started to find reasons to automate parts of my job and that was fun. Working with real world data like Twitter and Instagram API is fun and you can scale it to run for 100 handles nightly and email you if anything weird happens. Or put it on a dashboard.
Programming to solve problems is stimulating but building something is real fun part. Now I have a few years experience it is a lot easier to think hmm I want to build a website or a game or quirky tool or an automation tool or an API or a graph. And share it with strangers and friends online. And say look I made this, can you use it, how can I make it better?
I am not an expert at all the topics but I can figure out a new library or tool quick enough to do so something useful with it . And i make websites all the time so it is fun to use imagination to make what is in my mind or when someone says hey can you make a website where you mix frits together and see the colors mixed? And I did it just because I can
