Hi everyone, I'm Igno from South Africa. I have recently decided to take up up coding because I needed a career change. I am obsessed with learning now so I take courses and code all day, everyday.

I only came upon this site today and felt like this was a great opportunity to learn, stay motivated, and just have a platform where I can be interactive about my new found passion.

Thank You

Hello Igno

It's good that you have the dedication to learn coding but please do yourself a favor and don't "code all day, everyday". The brain needs some rest and time away from such a mentally intensive activity that is learning new tech.

I wrote an article of bad habits I picked up while learning to code that you might find useful.

Best of luck!

You're in safe hands my dude. This place is much more awesome than Hackernoon and Medium at most things

Hi, Igno.
I'm also new to the DEV community but I wanted to say hello to you because South Africa is near and dear to my heart. I've only visited once so far - we were supposed to return last March but a pandemic got in the way - but I love the country very much. Where are you from? I've been to Joburg, Praetoria, and Cape Town; next time I'll be visiting Durban primarily.
