This is a great read! Very true, I found myself laughing at a few parts for just how true it is. Coding is a challenge and you’re right, perseverance is everything. The true key to programming is you want to solve a problem, and you’ll keep working at it until you do. There is no better feeling in the world than finding a solution to a problem. On top of that, there is no “right way” to make anything. There’s just one path to a destination, but there are multiple roads to that solution that you may never even have dreamed about. Example: why write functions when you can just write everything in main? Finding your way (though sometimes in companies you have to follow their way) is part of the best thing about coding. Because when you make something, you leave your digital fingerprints all over it, really making it yours.

Keep up the great stories. Looking forward to reading more!
