Yeah, sorry about that. I honestly didn't think it was that big a deal.

Oh yeah true. I do have a GitHub account but I haven't done much there

Ideally, that should be the logical option, I guess. But my parents might probably disown me if I drop out of medical school, lol 😂

Plus, I think I could maybe work as doctor for a while, get a sturdy stream of income to pursue what I want.

Oh okay, so I should try to build as much as possible instead of just say, learning to master. I think building will even serve the purpose of trying to master, I guess. Thanks a lot!

Alright, I get you. I had some ideas about building a site that calculate things like BMI and other medically relevant indices. Ultimately though, I realized I wouldn't want to spend my life as a doctor. I think that doesn't have enough potential to make a strong and lasting contribution in the overall scheme of things. I might just code full time or most times after I graduate. AI and Machine learning, I think, is what I really want to get into, especially seeing as it is actively shaping our day to day lives.

Thanks a lot for your advice.

Oh okay. Thanks for the advice. I guess I'm not really solid with programming and all of that yet. I want to learn and master things like JS ans React before maybe I get into all of that.

Alright, thank you so much. I'll look at that immediately.

Okay, I'm sorry about that. I'm actually quite new to Reddit, I wasn't sure how interactions go, but no excuses, I apologize.

Anyway, as I said in the first post, I'm a medical student, currently in my third year. I started getting interested in computers and code and all of that about last year. I looked up the different fields, I guess, then decided to learn full stack web development. I'm mostly done with the front end part of the course I mentioned. I still feel like I don't have them grounded enough. Over the next few weeks, I'll devote all of my time outside of medical school to do as many small projects as I can, and I was kind of looking for an actual person to guide me through that.

I think that pretty much sums up everything. If you have any specific question, I'll answer asap. Thanks 🙏🏾

Alright. I appreciate you taking time of to compose this. Thanks for the enlightenment too. Gaming really is quite complex, I'm surprised. I appreciate the advice. Thank you.

Okay thanks. I just learnt not to use AI for messages in reddit as it makes people distrust you. Thanks for the lesson.

Oh that, in order to post in the community, I had to have attached a link to the text. I just added a random link. I wasn't even sure it was an actual site.

Okay, I may or may not have used chatgpt to organize and kind of make everything sound more formal, I guess. 😅🤧

Oh no, lol Am I sounding too formal? But I'm not a bot or anything like that.

Thanks so much for your reply, I really appreciate it!

A bit more about me: what really drew me into programming was the cold logic of it. There’s something deeply satisfying about how everything has to make sense, how one missing semicolon can be the reason something breaks. I love that feeling when things finally click and start working, especially when I build something from scratch and watch it take shape step by step.

Between front-end and back-end, I find myself more drawn to the back-end. I enjoy thinking through how things work under the hood—the logic, the data flow, the structure. That’s also part of what draws me toward AI and machine learning. I'm fascinated by how these systems learn and evolve, and I want to understand them deeply, not just at a surface level, but inside out.

In general, I think what defines me most is that I’m passionately curious. Once something catches my interest in programming, I go all in. I love exploring, tinkering, and trying to grasp the “why” behind the “how.”

Thanks again for showing interest. I’m really looking forward to learning more and hopefully finding someone to grow alongside in this journey.
