was it a certain idea you had for a project that led you to learn a specific programming language? was it already having a career that helped you realize what you wanted to specialize in? as a beginner I haven't found what it is I want to do as a programmer, I just know that I feel passionate about learning coding. I'm curious how others have arrived at the point they are at in their careers/studies.

For me it was one of those things that just happened.
I was studying CPP in college, and I didn't really find the motivation to program in that language. For me it was the lack of the visual aspect. (Typically in uni, you build those console applications and a lot of the emphasis is on algorithms etc.)
Then I went on to a web development bootcamp and I absolutely loved it. Have been coding in the javascript ecosystem for quite some time now.
I suggest you just try a bunch of different technology stacks and see what works for you :)
Hey there, you have a good question. From my personal experience, I can say that there is one question that can help you to figure out what to do with programming which is easier to answer than the initial question. The question is: Do you need programming for something?
thanks for the detailed reply! I'd love to hear more about your story and what resources you used to obtain the skills needed to land those first job positions. this kind of self-driven and resourceful approach is very inspiring to me as I am personally trying to become a full fledged developer by way of independent study.
