My thoughts on learning coding

Learning to code is something that has been a mainstay in my adult life. From young adults who want to get into a new career or adults who want to "learn something new".

Growing up around technology and the progress it has made in my lifetime has built an association that computers and technology is approachable but the systems that propagate up us end-users is a vast sea of numbers and texts that will either engulf you or spit you right out.

And that's where I stood not knowing what would happen to me. As someone who has little to no knowledge of the back-end workings, I was worried that this transition in my professional life would land me right at where I started more confused and frustrated than before.

However after a few weeks of being in a coding bootcamp, there was a self realization that you have to be self serving. How dedicated, how curious you are will grow your inner-developer into the professional that you see yourself as. So while the progress can be slow, it can amount to something comprehensive, like rivers fueling the ocean.
