if someone probably thought of that, there could be some breakdown because he/she will be focused on being a legend without working out on how to become that legend.
but me saying i want to become a legend doesn't mean i will not work for it. that's the sacrifice am making
Ben SinclairMay 22, 2022I didn't have an aim. I enjoyed playing around with computers when I was young, and I enjoyed the challenges and creativity required to come up with solutions that you thought were impossible yesterday.
Andrew BaisdenMay 22, 2022I suppose it would be to make a good living myself with a healthy stable income and some passive income streams. I think it is quite a good way to build an audience too and the content you create can help aspiring developers to get into this industry too.
Programming started out as a hobby for me and it still is so I se it as a passion and work its the best of both worlds.

Jon Randy 🎖️May 22, 2022No aim, I just found I enjoy it, am good at it, and it happens to more than pay the bills

i like the way you put it, it's seems as if you are enjoying it well...
you know,their some people working and not enjoying what they are doing... but as it seems you are enjoying it .. you will notice that it will enjoy you too and make you not to see alot of challenges in coding...you spoke well

you are absolutely right.
it's nice discussing with you... you are full of wisdom. 
Locky KeaneyMay 23, 2022I always liked making and building things when I was younger (dad was a carpenter, worked as an electrician after school, was good at fixing things) and then I did a coding class at uni and realised I could make things and the materials (code) was completely free. Snowballed from there.
Lost a bit of motivation to do my own stuff for a while, just did it for work, but it's back now. Just making things for the sake of it.

awwwn...
so,then later.. you accidentally fell in love it and you are accidentally making money from it too..
lol.goodluck
Graham MorbyMay 23, 2022Ermmm Money? I would say a good career brings good income - 2nd to that I enjoy the problem solving aspect of it
- N Cee Dee May 23, 2022
definitely correct...
but i have a question for you,...
what do you enjoy more in it...
is it the money or the work on it's own..
pick one.
FenMay 23, 2022Being able to pay my bills while doing something I enjoy. I have already fulfilled this objective by now but I don't feel good about being static in this position, so I'm always trying to push forward in terms of knowledge, practice and paycheck
I want to be greater than the legends in programming, i will make a very big platform which will take over other platform.. i always think big... WHAT OF YOU?
