How I Started Coding and Why I Never Stopped

By Borys10 January 2025

We all start somewhere — my journey into coding began not with a course or a job, but with curiosity.


🧒 My First Lines of Code

Like many, I first touched code through modding games and customizing websites. I didn’t know it was called "coding" back then.
All I knew was: “If I change this… that changes on screen. That’s cool!”

From there, I picked up HTML and CSS. Eventually, JavaScript followed — and with it came projects.


🚀 The Turning Point

In secondary school, I enrolled in an ICT track. That’s when I realized:

“This isn’t just fun. I’m actually good at this.”

The satisfaction of solving bugs, building something visual, and seeing it work — that never gets old.


🔁 Why I Still Code

I keep coding because:

  • It’s creative and logical at the same time
  • It gives me control over what I build
  • I love making real things that people can use

Sometimes I burn out. But after a break, I always return. That’s how I know it’s real.


🧪 What Keeps Me Inspired

  • Other developers' portfolios
  • Seeing someone use something I built
  • Learning a new tool (Vue, Tailwind, etc.)
  • Thinking “I can make this better.”

👋 Final Thoughts

If you’re starting out: stay curious.
If you’re feeling stuck: go back to why you started.

We don’t just write code — we build ideas.
