Hey PH :) I'm Vitalijus. Figured I'd introduce myself since I plan to stick around here.
I grew up in a small town in Eastern Europe. The kind of place where everyone follows the same path. Go to university, get a safe job, stay close to home.
I tried university. Twice. Left both times. Not because I couldn't do it. I just couldn't see where it was going. It felt like I was following a script someone else wrote.
So I taught myself to code. Built project after project on my own. Spent an entire summer sending out CVs. Eventually, somehow, IBM said yes.
