3 years ago, when I was 12, I told my family that I started programming and that it was my passion. My mum wasn't interested too much about it, but my dad was, and he encouraged me. He told me that he wanted me to become a great programmer.
He died about one year ago, and I stopped coding because I felt bad; every time I opened my IDE I couldn't type anything.
Idk why, some weeks ago I reinstalled devRant, and, idk why (again), I instantly felt good. Maybe because I understood a lot of people had my same passion.
Two days ago, I finally wrote new lines of code.
❤ you guys.

    Do what your dad said, "Become a great programmer".

    Programming is something your father wanted you to do so, if you ever feel down while opening an IDE just remember programming has an invisible bond with you and your father. Let your emotions flow through the keyboard and present it on monitor by eliminating those bugs. Good luck 👍

    I hope you can honour your dad's legacy by writing some great code. Every time you run that code it's like a little 'thank you,' to your dad as there's a bit of your father's influence in there.

    If you can share your code so that others can run it and change it, build on it and so one, then in a sense your dad is still with you and not only encouraging you to code but others also, which is an awesome way to be remembered.

    whenever you write an about page/or a footnote, say dedicated to <his name> in the footnote/about page, I've done it, and it feels great

    For programmers "Great power comes with greater responsibilities". Your dad have thought you'd become really successful and you can still

    It is alright. We also need to hibernate sometimes. Don't lose your passion and make your dad proud. 😊
