I got so inspired reading this. I was writing a blog post on JavaScript arrays before coming across your post and it really rekindled my love for tech

This is very inspiring. I had to stop 100Devs halfway due to some personal reasons. This inspires me to catch up with it again!

This is quite an interesting read because I'm currently doing the opposite.

Moving away from my web engineer role to be more involved with my father and the farmer labor.

Congrats! After being in the tech for over 15 years at Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc, I'm looking to recreate your transition, but in reverse :)

Happy to trade notes...

First of all, Congratulations! on the job ... and on your hard work.

This is very inspiring, and very useful you had provided many things to help in the way ... Thank You.

But You said "disclaimer to everyone about my coding journey" because you too had a tough time ... you know hard work and some sacrifice lead to a better tomorrow.

Congratulations for the new career. I can relate to the unhealthy condition at the time of grinding. #100dev is really amazing.

A very thorough and informative piece - and one I found very relatable. While I haven't even attempted to get a job in webdev (or gamedev, before that), mostly doing both as a hobby - I too came in from a very different professional background (linguist, and not good at maths), and really took to the problem-solving nature of coding. It's impressive how committed you were, and how creatively you went about the learning process (re-telling things to your dog! brilliant). Also, great tips on some aspects of socializing/networking that I wouldn't even know where to begin with.

It's a very detailed post about your journey of entering into Tech from a non-CS background. Thanks for sharing your journey by covering every aspect of it. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this post and bookmarked it for reference. Many will be highly benefitted from this post.

Hi I just keep trying and I found just writing the code out on paper or my iPad has helped and using Anki so I don’t forget the basics of the new topic have helped me the most
