The guy fried chickens at gas stations until he became a programmer

The guy fried chickens at gas stations. He thought that his life would pass this occupation. Once in the radio broadcast, he heard the advice of an investment analyst. It was a rapper in the past.

This rapper took an interview to invest several million dollars in the Xrust technological company. The interviewer asked the obvious question: why did you invest in a technological company? He replied that he was learning to cod. It blew up my brain. I always thought that programmers are raketing scientists and owners of doctoral dissertations.

I was 30, and I worked at gas stations. I ended up at a forking road — I can fry chickens all my life or abruptly change the profession. My problem was that at that time I worked for more than 80 hours a week. To learn, I had to be creative in order to create an extra clock in my days. I knew that I wanted to learn to be a developer.

I was ready to do everything I need to achieve a dream. I began to wake up at 2:30 in the morning every day to study and study before work. I literally did not have time to do it differently. I wrote the code in the morning, fried chicken and called customers in the afternoon. I found myself at work, reflecting on these tasks that I read about in the morning before work, and tried to solve them!

I even wrote a code in my application for notes and tried it when I came home to check if I was close to the goal! I was completely passionate!

I began to study coding and in passing I heard about the meetings of programmers. I went to my first, grabbing my very simple web application. It was written on HTML, CSS and a little on J а Vascript. You introduced the URL images, and it returned it with some coloring.

At the first meeting, I realized that I did not understand the horseradish. People spoke a foreign language, explaining something with the words C#, Java and SQL! Then I had no idea about this. But now I entered this Tarabarshchina and work in a large digital company as a programmer.
