Why "Web Development"?

To be perfectly honest, for me it's the easiest to go into, added the fact that it's the most gentle way to approach programming, I wanted to take a path where I can secure a career while also slowly improving on some other advanced part of the industry. Web Development had been the most practical way for me to understand how tech works, and I do not regret taking it above all other paths.

Question 5

What do you think of "Programming"?

Accepted Answer

Programming for me is like a canvas where I can express every bit and fiber of my creativity. For the longest time I wasn't the athletic, or talented in music, or a genius in science and math, but the thing that stands out on me was my ability to think critically and creatively, which was why I got hooked for a long time on Minecraft where I made Redstone creations, all that passion was inherited by programming where I can truly make use of what makes me "me". Programming is more than just solving problems and creating solutions, it's my way to express myself while also creating value.

Question 6

What technologies are you most comfortable with?

Accepted Answer

I used Next JS with Tailwind CSS, Shadcn UI, Express or Nest JS and Supabase or Sanity for my stack. I find them very easy to manage and I have some experience in making projects using them. I'd love to find something more to add after I completely master each of them, for now they are enough for me to be a learning material.

Question 7

Do you work more on frontend, backend, or full stack?

I usually do my projects solo, and I do not like it where the project doesn't have some degree of scalability and functionalities.

Question 9

What’s your favorite part about being a developer?

Accepted Answer

That would be the fact that everything in my head can be done, coding brings you to more regions of possibility than simple things having too many rules and whatnot. Being able to do something on a certain way, or create something the way you want it to, is so amazing for me that it felt freedom. It's such an underrated skill to be honest, the level of customizability it brings into is such a superpower.

Question 10

Are you more into design or code — or both?

Question 11

What do you love building the most?

I'm aiming to do my chores autonomously, so most of the time I make solutions to specific problems I come across.

Question 12

What's your approach to learning new things?

If it's something entirely new and separate from my pool of knowledge, I approach those things using a Full Basics and Expert Application approach, basically learning all that is needed to learn and try to test and apply those on some high level problems, this let's you come across problems a lot and gain much more experience and understanding on the matter.

Question 13

Why does programming excite you?

Accepted Answer

Just like gaming, problem solving had always been the very reason why I continue to pursue something. The very ecstatic feeling of achieving something or making something work is what keeps me from doing it again and again. The unpredictable fact whether you got better or not is also very awesome, and the fact that it can make you feel stupid and genius at the same time is just wild. You get to learn something new each and every time, so it's worth pursuing everyday.

Question 14

What do you do when you're not coding?

Accepted Answer

I like to train my brain on a constant basis, so most of the time I learn a new language, so right now I am learning Japanese. I also like to play video games to pass the time, and sometimes think of new projects to follow and outlining it's scope and feasibility.

Question 15

What kind of projects do you hope to work on in the future?
