How I started.
It's simple, I liked it. I made the first application for my city to make it easier for people to navigate the transport schedule. It is far from the best, this is my very first experience and it serves as a reminder to me how much I grew up from that moment.
Just do what you like and make you better.
Why am I doing this?
I see prospects in this. I didn’t give up, I had a creative crisis, but after that I found myself again. And that's cool. Most recently, I started making applications not for myself, but for organizations and I am good at it.
Your result will not be seen immediately, and as for me it is good, because when the time comes to share your application and people appreciate it, then it’s a completely different emotion. Do for the people.
