I think the main issue with that is... I felt I was too young to be the smartest person in the room. I think the thing was that I started hanging out with the... I started going to the local hackerspace, Hak 5 and Udacity just started. I really wanted to learn ALL of these free courses online so I did this at work! Why does Denis Tsoi code? When did it click for you that this was the thing you wanted to continue doing this for a living? It's not really the Bootcamp that sold it for me... The learning never stopped at the end of that Bootcamp. . . . Mentioning his first step into coding by joining a Bootcamp program in Hong Kong which I highly recommend for all those who are thinking of switching fields, which takes a lot of time, but according to this witness' account is worth it.

Try to teach me everything you know. I want to absorb everything and see how you think" To be fair, I feel different from someone without that experience of going through this.
