i'm a self-taught programmer that started with front-end web development,
but i've recently been trying to go low-level. i program because i love
it, not for any other reason.
i'm currently in high school and i've been programming for 5 years now.
the easiest thing to do would be to make this website with a phony,
"excited" attitude about how i
also ride the "aspiring developer" train like any other one of the hundred
million other developers.
i also could have made this using blazingly shitty new technologies
released a week ago.
but to me, that feels really easy and fake.
programming is like trying to convince a baby that it's intelligent. in the end, you may achieve your goal, but you are left sleepless, with torn out hair, missing 2 days worth of food, wondering why you're even alive.
