1 year ago I was at rock bottom so I learned to code. Best decision of my life.
Summary:
The girl I was seeing dumped me, my biggest client told me they wanted to stop, and the place I was living kicked me out because they stopped doing long-term rent
Quit barely profitable eCommerce after 5 years.
Locked myself in a hotel, learned to code and made $80K this year from my apps (revenues + sold one).
Coding seemed tough, but it's achievable. Tough times aren't forever, get disciplined, do the work, imrpove and you'll make it.
Really inspiring! I've spent years complaining about the lack of coding skills I had, as my studies and early jobs were just marketing. From the time I decided to learn some coding (and even more with the new no-code tools), I feel my only limit is time but I can create and communicate pretty much anything.
Keep learning new stuff, push further, plus ultra!
Thanksfor sharing!
Inspiring!
Thanks!
Similar to @mikebrave, I am at ease in several programming languages, but I don't really no how I should use my skills to start a business. Would you be willing to share what worked for you? Did you plan and plan far ahead or did you just start creating a product and kept adjusting your course based on customer feedback?
What worked for me might not work for you, but in my case, I just shipped a LOT of products until something worked. Start somewhere, doesn't matter if it's not good, just launch smth on PRoductHunt to get familiar with the process
Damn I know how to code but am doing nothing with it, I need to get to work
