I dropped out of school after missing lessons to learn code in the computer suite; I was kicked out of my home by my parents soon after.

From there I stayed with a friend and his family, somehow I managed to wing a job writing Go (of which I only started learning 3 weeks prior) and was hired! For the first 6 months I was working remotely, of which 2 I spent a great deal of time learning the language and getting used the working life.

That was about 11 months ago, and now all I do day in day out is write more code 8)
