I’m not sure that I’m “good” at programming yet, but I am growing. I think it’s important to know that there are always new things to learn, even if you think you’re pretty good at something.

I love the community. There are so many people who are willing to help others learn, which is really inspiring. I think it’s because we get that everyone starts somewhere, and we all want to grow our skills and help others do the same. There are also tons of resources online for learning new things—a quick Google search is all you need to find a tutorial or a YouTube video that can give you the information you need to move forward.

Last but not least, my mentor has been an invaluable resource for me as I started learning about programming and software development. He has a lot of experience in the field and he’s been able to answer any questions I have about what it’s like working as a developer in the real world. He also gave me some great advice when I was starting out, like making sure to keep up with current events in tech and reading blogs written by developers with more experience than me.
