Discovered Programming

2018 - The Beginning

Every developer has that one moment where it all clicks. For me, it was one accidental F12 button press that opened the browser's developer tools. I was curious, and I wanted to see how websites were built. Little did I know, that curiosity would ignite a lifelong passion for programming.

The First Lines of Code

I remember staring at a blank text editor (atom), typing out my very first <html> tag, and watching videos on Youtube about how to make a simple webpage. It was a mix of excitement and confusion, but I was hooked. I spent countless hours experimenting with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, learning the basics of web development.

From there, it was a journey of trial and error, building small projects, and learning from mistakes. I wanted to know everything about the web, untill I discovered frameworks like Vue.js and React, which openened up a whole new world of possibilities.

"The expert in anything was once a beginner."

Looking Back

Now, looking back at that moment, I realize how far I've come, and how a simple curiosity can lead to a fulfilling career. The journey of learning programming is never-ending, and I'm excited to see where it takes me next.
