I have never replied to a thread here...but this one is different. I find it hard to believe that the world needs one more opinion from a front-end engineer, especially one that is still learning so much, but this is worthwhile.
I have two kids and made the crazy decision to become a developer about five years ago. I have put in some insane hours knocking out tutorials, preparing for interviews, and finessing the code to get it where it needs to be.
At the end of it all, what matters most is not my (im)perfect code, but it’s them; my kids. It’s my wife. It’s smiles and moments that many would call frivolous.
I can’t imagine what you are going through, but please know your family is in prayers. Thank you for sharing some perspective; your perspective. We all can use more of it. 😊
Just a coder and a dad. I love my family and I love to code!!!! started coding at 11, so I have 25 years under my belt. Still love learning about it every day. Black lives matter!
I am glad that I could help remind you what is really important. I great appreciate the prayers. I also appreciate the kind words. Thank you. Have a great day!
