Hello All,
I am Chai, here to learn programming and am excited to create apps and automations as I learn new things.
My Why?
Why do I want to learn programming? For many reasons, and maybe they are connected, maybe not. I will discover as I go through these goals and learn and develop.
Independence: I want to learn so that I can have a bigger freedom in choosing my work times, my career and where I want to work, my holidays, etc. And let's not gloss over the fact that tech is big money and this is one perk I definitely look forward to (once I am a seasoned coder, that is). So financially, career-wise, etc I want to be independent.
I am lazy: I feel like I have soo soo many ideas on how to make tasks easier or automated, if ONLY I knew how to code. And so, here I have come, to not have to use this excuse anymore. I want to empower myself to do what I want, without feeling helpless or useless.
Challenging: I am ready to challenge myself and see where I can go. I have always loved learning and I think I can use this opportunity not only to learn, but how to learn and rewire the way my brain thinks.
And with that, here i am today. It is Day 0.
So what is my aim for today? To get myself set up, signed up and create accounts in Github, StackOverflow, etc. I have done all of this, and somehow I feel so so overwhelmed. (if you are self-taught, how did you manage all this and not run away?)
And maybe, I might also start with a few videos already so that I can get a head start into this.
If you are like me, and starting on this journey, then come say hi. I would love to follow you on your journey as well.
