In every job I had before moving into coding, I hated something about some piece of software I was using, and for various reasons, I found it impossible to address that thing I hated. So I learned to code. Now when I bump into software I don't like, I can do something about it, or learn to appreciate why it works that way! |

My previous non-software job was with an engineering company and I ended up having to do stuff like manually typing values from a PDF report into an excel file.
I got so annoyed with doing this task that one day I rage-coded a parser in python that took in raw PDF data and outputted a CSV file.
The first useful thing you ever code is really motivating.
