I have been here for 9 days. I just want to ask, what motivates you not to give up on coding? It's an eternal challenge to me.

Question

The reason for me asking this question is because, I have seen a lot of people start coding and then give up at some point.

I think this mostly happens to people who started coding at a later age. I just started learning in June, this year and I'm 25years.

So guys, what keeps you going?

Answer 1

What's your motive to learn about coding and what do you wish to accomplish? It's easy to give up if one didn't setup a goal.

I've seen you started the PHP and HTML course so you probably interested in web development. If so, I would advise you to finish the HTML course first as PHP is a server-side technology build on top of it.

In this case you'll follow the progress as below:-
HTML ➡ CSS ➡ Javascript ➡ PHP

Don't try to push yourself too hard to learn everything at once otherwise you'll get exhausted and give up at some point.

Enjoy during the learning process will definitely speed up the process so try to find the motivation to keep you going.

Answer 2

In some case people give up on coding because they find a faster way to do what they want.
however for me, the thing that keeps me on code is the passion and the desire to keep up with the technology.
