Reading this article almost felt like reading certain chapters of my life as a βyoungβ developer!
That was a great read! Iβve found a lot of similarities. Iβm also an intern and thereβs a high likelihood of getting my first βofficialβ dev job at the end of this summer. And these guys are also very supportive.
Thanks for the article! Best of luck! π»
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 π
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 sΔkmΔs tau ;)
Oh wow, it's always nice to spot fellow lithuanians wandering around the internet π Tau irgi linkiu sΔkmΔs π
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!!
