Woah... I was born in '94. 😁
Started coding in college 4 years ago, dropped out, started coding for money 3 years ago, and now I'm a Developer Advocate. So I basically talk about coding... for money. 😐
I'm a Full Stack Developer with a background in martech and sustainable entrepreneurship. I love building things that make a positive influence on the world around us.
Well, to be honest, it was a 2 year journey. I started writing about coding and built up a following on Medium. This was followed by actively contributing to my local dev community and teaching programming courses. I started speaking at Meetups on a regular basis, ultimately organizing and hosting them myself.
All of this contributed to technical knowledge, writing prowess and people skills, which are crucial if you want to be a Developer Advocate.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Hard question. :D
The first time, I think, was on my first computer, a C64. I tried some BASIC, but only simple arithmetic stuff. This was 1994.
I didn't code until 2002, when I tried some Flash, PHP and Half-Life modding.
In high-school, I had two classes on programming. One about C for two years and one about assembler for one year. This was 2002.
The first programming job I had in 2006, where I cobbled together some PHP pages.

That's so interesting--how did you land that job?
Yes, it is! I thought about doing dev-advocacy too, but I don't even know where to start :D
