My life as a coder

Code, Coffee, and Dreams
My days began before the sun. A cup of coffee in one hand, my laptop in the other, I settled into my favorite corner of the apartment. Before the world woke up, I was already deep in the logic of my latest coding challenge. I wasn’t a Full Stack developer yet. But I was determined to be. By day, I worked a regular job, but every spare moment belonged to code. Tutorials, projects, debugging.
My life was a loop of learning and improving. JavaScript, Python, React, databases. Each piece of knowledge brought me closer to my dream. Some nights, I battled errors that refused to budge. Other nights, I celebrated small victories. My first interactive website, my first API integration, my first time fixing a bug without looking it up. Then came the moment I had been waiting for: an interview for my first real developer job.
Heart pounding, I built a project from scratch in the coding test, explaining my logic with confidence. The email came two days later. ** “Welcome to the team.” ** I stared at the screen, then laughed. Not because it was easy, but because I had proved to myself that I could do it. This was just the beginning.
