[Important;Please Read] Lemme ask you something...

Someone on SoloLearn asked the question "Why are you learning to code?". Good question. There are many reasons one may want to be a programmer. Here are the ones I can think of: -To create informative and life-changing content -To see where their imagination and ideas can take them -To make life easier by creating content that can do things for you(like GPS) -For entertainment (videos, games, VIDEO GAMES, etc.) -For fun(That's cool, too!) -For income alone I want you to tell me: Why do you code?

At first, I learned coding just because I could, and doing it better than others gave me a sense of void fulfillment. But then I made friends through programming who made me realise the void has never been there to begin with. :>

I love programming, it's like art to me. You have the power to create anything, for any reason the only limit is yourself and your own mindset. I don't code for fame or or popularity, i just love learning and teaching others about it.

When I get bored or feel lonely...i challenge myself to code & try to create new & error free programs...but I've learnt so much via this activity which I considered to be time pass...coding is just as tempting for me as FB is for much of them...(:

I code for glory!!!!!!! (gives out a loud battle cry) And like Kenyata, I spent a lot of time in my earlier years in solitude and programming was a different way of thinking from the status quo. While inspired by the video games of that time, I was really driven to learn. It never was about money for me. I truly loved the joy of creating a program that was challenging or learning how to plot pixels and perform page flipping to animate in 16 colors. The earlier days of programming were a lot of fun without the overbloated operating systems like Windows came to be. I am talking the days of C:\>_

I'm learning to code because I want the world to be FULL of high-tech AI hologram devices and stuff like the ones you see in Star Wars.
