No textbook theory. Practical knowledge earned by doing the actual job for a very long time
When I was 12 years old, one of my friends showed me a "Hello, world" program in QBASIC and I thought it was the most magical thing I'd ever seen. Having the ability to get a computer to do things for you is a superpower.
QBASIC.EXE
10 PRINT "Hello, World!"
20 GOTO 10
Hello, World!
Hello, World!
Hello, World!
Hello, World!

That was 25 years ago. Now, with AI coding tools and low-code platforms everywhere, anyone on earth has the ability to build the next big thing.
When I was starting out, I didn't know how to break into tech. I don't have a Computer Science degree and I wasn't sure where to start looking for my first job. Even after I landed it, there was so much to learn. I read dozens of books, watched hundreds of conference talks, and built countless side projects.
That's why I created code q&a. I want to answer questions to help coders level up faster than I did. Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience, I hope you find something valuable here.
