I did programming all through high school, then went to uni for Mechanical Engineering since I thought programming would be too frustrating.
Realized I hated it, switched to 2nd yr CS for a semester.
Then realized I'd learned a lot of the content in high school and it was quite boring, so I dropped out.
Spent the next year bumming around a bit, doing some coding and getting up to speed modern web dev then this year, I landed my first job just before the pandemic hit.
My job is quite depressing. Working with old tech, no feature work and the company is extremely disorganized. I do 10x more in my own time than I do at work. I think I'll be looking for a new job soon.
The only tip I have for learning is to code every day and build things, don't watch tutorials.
