No… I’ve been coding every day… actively engaging in community…. Helping solve code problems in forums and learning from others… I put fire in the flame constantly. It’s part of life.

Okay that's interesting

How do you cope with school and coding ?

TotoIsGud4boy:
When I was 15/16… me and my friends we used to mod 2go.jar back in the day… fast forward to today? We running the fintech space in Nigeria … + I’ve worked at FAANG and I just go to rave parties and buy my family anything they want.. I’m really young so it’s just quarrel and fights here or there from my girlfriend about why I love cheating so much but she loves me despite my imperfections… should I also add that I have an online business too that gives steady return… rn life becomes very boring.. I miss the days where I was struggling to build stuff… now I’m actively involved in AI research for a startup here in San Francisco… my advice for the newbies is to learn how computers work and build stuff!!!! Don’t be a slave for Anyone.. keep building!

do you ever pause coding for a month or year ?

Bongadu:
7 years , got my first laptop from my grandfather who was a professor at the UNN , laptop was a shitty one , couldn't play Wolfenstein on it


My grandfather had a copy of K&R and IBM ASM which I learn C, my grandpa taught me ranging from linear equations to differential equation, made my first program which was a rainbow output using TurboC thank God for Borland


In secondary school, I was a loner , no friends tho I attracted girls because I knew maths and they came to me to tutor them which i would shy away and ignore them probably signs of autism, made huge use of computer lab in secondary school, back then students pay to use the internet in my school , 50 naira was the least amount

Do you mean you have been coding since when you are 7 years old ?

qtguru:
Normal Nigerian issues, light, laptop and all. But I always had a tablet, so I spent an unhealthy amount of time reading alot of programming books, from Java, PHP, JS, ActionScript and alot. There's was a time I'd read at least 3 hours for a year.

I liked reading back then, but not as much as today

That's interesting .
But how do you cope with coding and school ?

Nice work from you

qtguru:
Yes I'm passionate about coding but I also have other skills

What challenges do you have during that time ?
How do you cope with coding and school ?

100millionGoal:

Better leave ham alone na old man watch out he is still coming for you.
he brags alot.

15 I only learnt coding because I thought I could contribute to Playstation emulator development, but when I get a full-time job, I'm taking a course on emulation just for fun. Tired of webdev, I started with C++ and it was tough but now I can at least make much sense of it

you be boss oo
You are one of the reason i am still coming to nairaland
Because of your diary

So you don dey code for 15 years now

cj1080:
I think i was 15 when i wrote my first hello world on html (that was like 1998). i was intrigued that i could actually create something on a pc rather than just using a pc.

Its been over 25 year, now at 40, i have decided to really learn coding by challenging myself with projects and things i want to be build for myself and for the office i work for, weird i know, but for me it seems i have been running away from this and it finally hit me to just freaking do it already and not avoid it anymore.

Nice

qtguru:
Yes I'll renew soon, money got tied up

Okay i have followed you on tiktok

qtguru:
Exactly the point I've worked in companies who use both, Node for SSR application to interface with their middleware in Java, these conversations of nodejs vs Java are done with, it's all bout business value. Nairaland should have gone past these kind of conversations.

Hi bro one of your websites have shut down retani consults

Okay

Okay oo i don hear una but they are still foolish

Only a foolish person support nigerian politician because you guys came from the same tribe ?

This is unacceptable This people want whala and they will see one
