    Hi Jessica, I'm an international follower, greetings from Peru! I'm 18 years old and due to my parent's illness, I couldn't enter university. I am trying to learn by myself and I am dreaming of one day working as a full-stack developer. This video really impressed me. Now I truly believe one day I will be able to do that. You are such an inspiration!!! Thank you so much!

    I'm in LOVE with her running/dancing animations. 😄 Learning to code now, with what I understand is the more common pathway (HTML to CSS to JS to React) at age 27. Been in customer service for years and not with a certificate in video game simulation and design. Been deferring my passions for a lot of reasons- anxiety, relationships, fear of leaving my comfort zone- but I'm changing that for myself. I want to learn, every day, and change my brain into that of a developer's. You inspired me to keep going. Thank you for sharing, and know you're still inspiring people, today, to be more.

    Wow, that awesome animation!
    I really can relate to your final take aways. After quitting my job as an elementary teacher, I'm about to study again in a thing called "dual-study" (not sure if this is a thing outside of Germany) were I'm part time doing my bachelor degree and part time working for a company, getting work experience (and getting paid a bit).
    Taking longer for tasks is completely normal and nobody knows everything (something everyone expected otherwise in my previous job). I can't speak for others, but my boss is very understanding in that matter but also drives me to find out things myself instead of asking, even if it takes 3 times longer.
    After 3 years in I think I'm out of the valley of despair, learning new techniques really fast.
    People said I can't start out with programming that late, (I'm 28 now), but at my campus, there's almost half of the people my age or older that changed field like me. That really boosted my confidence.

    I used to love making HTML pages as a kid too. After I graduated high school I couldn't major in computer science because I didn't have the required GPA, instead, I did engineering which is a field that's close to CS. Now that I finished 5 years of university and went through this year's circumstances, I just feel like I have to do something that I really love, I wouldn't say that I didn't like everything I did in university but I was just not happy... Now I find myself self-learning web development and I plan to do a master's degree abroad in computer science. Thank you for this video it was so inspiring and I wish everybody to find their passion and be happy in life. Peace.

    I got a degree in 'multimedia & web design' which mostly centered around the visual aspect of the web (and flash, before Adobe acquired Macromedia).
    We had intro courses in things like databases, and scripting (in ColdFusion). But I had to really put in some effort to teach myself enough programming to get salaried positions (almost everyone on the east coast only hired designers on contracts at the time). It's been an interesting journey, though; sometimes, I worry that my lack of theory-level coding classes is a hindrance. But other times, I know my background in building things for muggles to use makes me an asset unlike many developers.
