H3llo👋, Just wondering Why I am a developer. Stick with me to know it.

About me

So before knowing Why I am a developer? , You have to know one thing. Who is Utsav? Just like declaring a variable before using it. Let me first initialize myself and my properties clearly. So that there will not be any runtime errors while your brain complies and runs this content.

let utsav = {
 age : 18,
 personality: "shy",  
 whenFree:{
    exploration: true,
    reading: true,
    gaming: true,
  },
  properties:{
      nature: "friendly", mindSet: "Creative",
      views: "different",  Communication: "Try to speak less"
  },
  varients: {
      programmer: true,
      designer: true,
      traveller: true,
  },
  lovesTo: ["Surfing new tech stuff", "Travelling", "Gaming", "Learning from others", . . . ],
  fearOf: ["error"],  //But After Solving it, It's adrenaline hits different🤩.
}

The reason for using let in declaration is: The properties will change throughout life that's a natural process.

No further delay, Let's dive in!

My Backstory

It's the story of a shy boy who used to play mobile games, later on, started playing with tech stuff and it's going. He started this tech journey from 6 standard. At that time, He touched the computer for the first time realizing the power of this tool, He was so amazed that He just started to explore it. As we know, Anyone who enters to this digital verse never comes back again. As time passes, the boy goes on trying new things, thinking of How to solve errors and bugs, and after solving it enjoying that moment. The boy makes this process as a passion.

As for the programming aspect, He started learning basic programming from the Nine standard that are included in the education syllabus. As we know, school knowledge is not enough for the developer. He started to learn and scraped new things. He had an interest in building a good user interface. Since He already knew HTML and CSS, he slowly moved into learning JavaScript.

Even though learning JavaScript was a bit of a pain, He fell in love with this language once He became familiar with it. And now it's his favorite programming language and the one that He uses the most. After becoming somewhat comfortable with JS, He decided to move into React To be honest, He fell even more in love with React and JavaScript in general. From that onwards He started building a few side projects. and He jumped to app development and started learning react native, might be thinking why react native as He was a Js background developer, He chose the relatable framework. After learning all this tech stuff, He started to contribute to Open source.

What triggered me to be a developer?

As I am a technical student, I chose this stream because I love it but the main reason to dive into it is when I was in 9 standard handling the load of syllabus, suddenly inter-school web hackathon was organized. To be honest, At first, I was heisted to participate but my friend assisted me to joined on it. The main core theme of the hackathon was Visit Nepal 2020 and it was a duo team hackathon. The hackathon was 5 hours long. As the hackathon started, My hand started vibrating but I managed myself and we started building it. We had built the website which was pretty simple but for me, it was like a big project. After the completion of it, We are asked to present what we built. It was my first formal presentation. I managed to present all aspects of what we built. After that, The organizer showcased the result. Luckily, we got the second position. That moment🤩 triggered me to be a developer.

My passion for programming

So, why did I go through the trouble of learning all these? Well, to be honest, I did it because it was pretty fun and enjoyable. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Coding for fun is not just enough". Yes! I agree, but this fun slowly became an irresistible passion for programming. Although there are times when I face annoying bugs and I think to myself that programming is very difficult, but fixing these bugs and finding solutions to different problems, drives my craze for programming to an even higher level.

But, if you ask some people why they would want to become developers, they might give one of these two answers or sometimes both. Either they say that it is because you get a high-paying job or that it is an important job that offers a career path with endless progression. These are some solid reasons you would want to be a developer and I too consider these, but there's a majority of developers who became developers because they just love coding and enjoy the process and their passion is coding.

I'll tell you why. As you might already know, I'm an 18-year-old and I have been into programming for about 4 years. That means that I started my journey when I was around 14 years old. At that time, I didn't know or care about getting a high-paying job. All I wanted was to enjoy the process of coding. So I did, and here I am, writing to you about why I am a developer. And in my opinion, if you want to become or achieve something, you've got to have a passion for it. Because if you don't, you'll stop halfway through the journey. Now, this is not to say that I don't want a high-paying job or and good career path, instead, my enthusiasm for programming is what motivates me to achieve great heights or build amazing software. A good example of this is the Open Source Community. Developers all over the world build and contribute to open-source software just to provide some value to the developer community, expecting nothing in return. I'm speechless to describe the open source community and I'm happy to be a part of it🙂.

Okay Let's wrap it up, The main reason Why I want to be a developer is passion, excitement and adrenaline which come after learning new tech stuff, solving errors, contributing to open source and completing projects.
