Gregory's ServerMy biggest regret is dropping out of high school when I was 15.
I learned how to code in my early 20s to stay out of trouble and it worked.
I used to dream of working on a project like pixelfed.
Never give up on your dreams!

@dansup same kind of story. Quit school at 19. Had a business for 6 years which was mainly a hobby because I was too lazy to study. Did that and some receptionist and pub work for 10 years, then got a professional dev job via hobbies. All I've achieved after that is due to open source portfolio and self learning.  @dansup if it's any consolation, I completed high school but technically failed (I still graduated, but my grade was 45%): me learning how to code during highschool & pouring energy into opensource got me jobs, and highschool is all but irrelevant now (apart from in anxiety/stress dreams) So you're maybe not missing as much as you might think! |
@dansup I didn't drop out of school but I still regret many things. I admire your persistence. It means way more than a degree.
