Good books tips! Thanks a lot.
Thank you! I am writing another article specially on that subject. There is tons of amazing technical books out there.
For what is worth, Humble Bundle has at least once a month a good "deal" where you get 5-10 technical books at the price of "pay what you want". While not always and not all of them are great, it's worth keeping an eye open at least once a month.
Great recommendation :) , I didn't knew that. I am gonna start checking from now on. thanks
Right now now there are books about Linux and/or developing video games.

Love your piece most especially on meetUps
Hi! Thank you very much. Glad you like it, definitely something important, for me I didn't realize how important was until I moved to a different country.
I just started learning a month ago, and so far learning as a loner is difficult. But i intend to be a loner till the year end so when am at meetups from 2020 i will have a basic and technical Knows Hows when am talking to other enthusiast and beginners such as myself. Am Happy i read this article
I understand, just don't think you " need to be ready" to do it. Go ahead and just do it, you will find people with all levels of skills.
If you need some advice or something just DM on Twitter 😀
I need a lot of advice but don't want to be a burden unto anyone, i will be grateful if you indulge me.
Thank you
No burden at all, glad to help. I hold one on one meetings with other developers to provide with advice or programming help. Just DM me and I will send you the link to book a meeting 😀
I want to slap anyone who says to work for more than 8h. Fu bro, you ruin lives for many people for changing expectations for working time. Programming community is the worst: teens, nerds and whoever, not normal people.
I just did all the things what this articles said in my beginning of my learning how to program and tried to relate that with real life stuff without ever reading an article like that.
Thanks for putting it here and writing it in a way that everyone can understand. It's hard to tell these in words.
Btw you had passion and dedication to do this much right? I had a lot so I can relate.
Thank you for the kind words. Definitely, I love writing software and I want to be better. But it took me a few years and few experiences to understand this things. As I said in the article, I made some mistakes here and there and did not always used my time correctly, but I learned from it and I am trying to be better.
Also I am getting a lot better on deliberate learning and using my time correctly, I will probably write an article about that in the upcoming weeks.
Thanks, I'm from Argentina also but I never had the courage to change my career. It was helpful to understand that It Is possible.
Sin duda es posible. Si pensás hacerlo avísame que te puedo dar algún que otro consejo. Mándame un msj en Twitter 😀
Great tips
Glad you liked them 😀
Can't stress this enough.
Most informative piece. Worth being shared in computing classes too where kids may feel out of their depth.
Thank you very much, I give some free programming classes from time to time and I always mention this things. Hopefully they re not tired of listening ahha
Lol. Nah. The more the better.
I need the book.. I don't have 50$.. please help.. my email. christiannduh@gmail.com
