I have been coding for the past 11 years. Here is everything I learned in a nutshell:
I started coding when I was 15, out of curiosity and passion.
When I was 15 years old, I had a knack for creating and experimenting with ideas.
Coding allowed me to -> if I do this and combine it with that, what would it result in?
