| 12 | +### Can you introduce yourself (name, location, age, etc..)? |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +Hi my name is Sean |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +### How did you get interested in programming? |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +I've always been interested in computers and how they work. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +### When did you start learning to code? |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +I started to learn to code about a year and three months ago. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +### Where do you learn new skills? |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +I started learing to code on Free Code Camp then on Coding Phase now I try to find new info where ever I can learn something new that I can use. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +### What do you love the most about programming? |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +I love when you finally get the result that you are aiming for it feels like you have unlocked an achievement in a video game. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +### What do you hate about programming? |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +I hate getting stuck in a rabbit hole of information on stack over flow. When you are looking for an answer to something and you look up and have went on a hour long tangent and still haven't found the answer to the question that you were looking for. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +### Are you currently working as a developer? |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +I am currently working on my portfolio getting together the projects to find work as a developer. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +### What's your favorite stack or type of applications? |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +I have done about 85% of the projects on Coding Phase and until now I have like just about everything that I have done currently I have been using foundation that has been pretty cool. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +### What's a technology or language or skill you wish to learn in the future? |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +In the future want to master Javascript and Python. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +### Where do you see yourself in 5 years? |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +In 5 years I want to be making money off of my passive income projects and if I haven't moved on to my own bussiness I would like to be working at a senior dev level. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +### If you were to go back into time and give yourself an advice to make it easier to learn to code what would you say? |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +If I could go back in time I would tell myself to find Coding Phase way sooner. I worked through FCC until the projects section then I started over from the beginning when I got to Coding Phase. I would also tell myself don't doubt the process just keep working and you will get the answer eventually. Finding Coding Phase was like finding a mentor that you might get through a bootcamp and it has really helped to simplify the process of learning to code. |
