I started learning with a game: codecombat. And when I learned how to use arrays, thats when my mind went insane, as I was finding some way to apply that in my old job and save a ton of time. And I did just that. my first project had so much ugly code but it was working, and I was saving about 4 to 6 hours of work a day because of it.

I took Scrimba's courses on HTML and CSS. At first, writing code felt like asking for directions in broken Spanish. But after making a couple of crappy sites, I got the hang of it. [...] Before, coding felt cryptic and foreign. But it turned out to be no harder than learning hockey or the flute.

I was working at a call center for Yahoo Web Hosting Support about 2 decades ago. [...] at the time, I only had html knowledge. so out of curiosity, I looked into the code and it had JavaScript. welp, so I learned just enough JavaScript to fix the old tool and lo and behold, I had access to help customers a lot better again. over time, I would expand the tool for more buttons and functions to help me with my job.
