From mental health & arts to software engineer in under a year. Passionate about tech for good. Will inevitably end up writing about how coding makes me feel too…
I understand. When sharing posts about coding, I often feel like I’m just regurgitating what someone else has taught me, in my own words. And that, somehow, feels wrong to me; unoriginal, boring, infringing on someone else’s intellectual property. The thing is - it’s not wrong! It’s useful. You learn in the process of writing, and as long as your post is factual, hopefully someone else will learn from it too. It’s okay to repeat topics that have already been written about.
I bet with 16 months of experience you have a lot more knowledge than you give yourself credit for :)
