Ever since I was a little kid, software development has been my passion. I still remember when I bought my first computer in 2005. I was dazzled by what computers could do. This was my motivation to start independently learning computer programing. I still remember how accomplished I felt when I wrote my first “Hello World” program in C++. Even after several years of programming I still get the same healthy rewarding dose of dopamine flowing through my body after successfully completing programming challenges. If you’re anything like me, then you’re addicted to problem-solving. It feels rewarding to know I’m challenging myself and increasing my expertise every day I log in. This is what keeps me motivated.
