Embrace the rabbit holes. An opportunity to learn is a gift, not a vice.
I'm a full-stack web developer, specializing in the front-end. I'm a mentor and volunteer admin/moderator/contributor for The Odin Project - a free and open source web dev curriculum.
I'm largely self-taught. As a kid, I had learned basic web dev with free hosts like Angelfire/Geocities/Expages. In 2014, I started a career change transition and started formalizing my skills with online courses, books, and pretty much any resources I can get my hands on.
I like being able to create things. I like being able to solve random inconveniences I run into, or optimize things I find myself doing often. I like to learn about the new tech, or different paradigms. Honestly it's hard to find the time to indulge all the "rabbit-holes" I'd like to learn about or mess around with.
