Reading this article almost felt like reading certain chapters of my life as a “young” developer!
That was a great read! I’ve found a lot of similarities. I’m also an intern and there’s a high likelihood of getting my first “official” dev job at the end of this summer. And these guys are also very supportive.
Thanks for the article! Best of luck! 🍻
Glad to hear that! Best of luck to you too ;)
Wow, i have similar story. Started coding when i was 14. I have attended many meetups, unfortunately no hackathons. :(
I'm 18 now, got my first internship and job as a junior Frontend developer in amazing team full of inspiring people. The only thing is i'm not Lithuanian 😁
Good job, keep it up!
You too! :D
Oh gosh :D I'm also lithuanian, from Vilnius, who is 18 years old now, learning, gaining experience in internship in this city. I also started programming at ~13-14 years old because of those video games I was very interested in, but now, as I finished high school, I can name myself as pretty solid starting web developer.
Also sėkmės tau ;)
Oh wow, it's always nice to spot fellow lithuanians wandering around the internet 😁 Tau irgi linkiu sėkmės 😉
Regarding online learning, have a look at the FFA series (loper-os.org/?cat=49 ) and the author's approach throughout - quite something worth learning I'd say. And if you're stuck, come over on irc and talk to us as there is almost always someone online and able to answer questions - I have yet to see a faster response time anywhere else.
I am totally aware of these things and you brought up some great points.
I look at university as something more than just worthless courses though, we'll see but I value new connections, new people in my network, which school definitely brings.
I also want to learn how to work using the 'scientific method' :D and just generally don't want to be stuck in the mindset of a high-school student all my life.
Learning on my own will forever be something that I'll do but I feel that university will help me do, learn and achieve things I wouldn't otherwise.
Thanks for the great comment and good luck!
I feel so old now.. my son is now 11 yo! ;-)
congrats for your achievements and your passion. keep it up!
Starting so early and with such a good attitude will pay off!
Thanks! :)
Keep the good work Mykolas! Never stop!!
