How did I learn programming?
When I joined college I was literally the dumbest in the class... I didn't even know what is a char and what is a String.. Our lecturer made fun of and humiliated me in front of the whole class....also my parents barely afforded my college tutotion fed...
So one night I sat with myself and reevaluated myself and decided that no matter how hard it is gonna be, I must become an excellent programmer....spent restless nights and days learning the core of programming in c++ then switched to Java *best day in my life* and also learned Android development.. And later JavaScript "mostly worked with jQuery and AngularJs*
In my final year project I built an Android web browser that even the lecturer that made fun of me was impressed by..and my app was rated the best project of that batch.
Now I'm working as a Java web dev and made a promise to myself that I'd learn something new every day.8 -

I working hotfix in prod, small fix but fatal it's about environtment and proxy thing, and I forgot to write in the decumentation, 3 month after that I leave the company.
After some week the PM contact me and tell the developer create some error and make the production down, and the whole team is not going home for 3 days working on that issue.
He offer me some money for helping with the issue, I aggred and they give me some account for access the environtment and code.
I can fix it in less than 15 minutes, but because they cannot fix it I working it for 6 hour, and after that I explain the step for solving it, they seems really glad that I can solve the issue and now the prod is working again..
Now In my opinion, I know I was not a good person, and what i've done is maybe not acceptable.
But for me as a developer, as long I have the credential and access I can read(guessed) how the flow goes and know the environtment that my company use without they explain it or some googling definitly will help right.?
So, what you say about it, What will you do if you got into my situation.?10
