There will always be more to learn, and the more you know, the more there is yet to learn!

I remember right in the beginning. I picked up a book about programming and just started going through it. I grew up in an IT house, so tech was always a thing for me, but it took quite a few years to really understand what it was all about.

"Programming is about helping people, by solving problems they have, with your problem solving skills."

Much like how doctors also solve problems with their skills, but instead of working with the human body and medicine, we work with "Words, languages and abstract ideas"

Hope this helps.

Thank you SO MUCH ❤️ for reminding me what actually is programming. I remember getting into this field because there are lots of problems that I wanted to solve, but I wasn't experienced enough to solve them. That reason makes me getting through bugs, errors, etc. every time. :)
