You’re also competing against coders that have had it worse than you. You’re competing with a world of people that are smarter than you, and have better resources. Among other things, I wrote the following:

I recently had a conversation with a young aspiring coder, who complained he had no access to “decent” coding tutorials and mentoring, despite owning a MacBook Pro and having access to the internet. It’s because kids these days learn Python programming on a $25 Raspberry Pi. Not because learning to code was harder 15 years ago, and not because computers were slower back then. Make no mistake: owning a MacBook is a luxury. Your Mac probably doesn’t have a CD drive, and you store your Swift code in a cloud-based Git repository somewhere. Xcode simply doesn’t run on an i486 PC, and you can’t save your app’s source code on a 1.44 MB floppy disk anymore. Those were the days! Xcode, iOS, Swift and The MacBook Pro I got my first gig as a freelance coder: creating a PHP script that would aggregate RSS feeds, for which I earned about a hundred bucks. My own! I still remember how happy I was. Later, when I started coding professionally around age 17, I finally bought my first laptop. The source codes of turn-based web games, JavaScript tidbits and HTML page snippets were carried around on a 3.5″ floppy disk. At the one library computer that had internet access, and I completed the tutorials at home. We had no broadband internet at home back then, so I would download and print out coding tutorials at school.

I coded a mod for Wolfenstein 3D on that machine, too.

It had a luxurious 16 MB of RAM, initially only ran MS-DOS, and later ran Windows 3.1 and ’95.Ī next upgrade came as a 400 Mhz AMD desktop, given again by friends, on which I ran a local EasyPHP webserver that I used to learn web development with PHP, MySQL and HTML/CSS. When I was about 11 years old I taught myself to code in BASIC, on a 100 Mhz i486 PC that was given to me by friends. That 100 Mhz i486 PC I Learned to Code With Like many of us, I wish we had 2013-2015 MacBook Air’s and Pro’s with today’s specs. Guess what? My current MacBook Pro from 2018, its keyboard doesn’t even work OK, I’ve had sound recording glitches, and occasionally the T2 causes a kernel panic. In 2014, my trusty MacBook Air broke down on a beach in Thailand, 3 hours before a client deadline, with the next Apple Store 500 kilometer away. It’s still going strong after 7 hours on battery power. After 5 years of daily intenstive use, the MacBook Air’s battery is only through 50% of its max. In 2018 I upgraded to a tricked out 13″ MacBook Pro, with much better specs.įrankly, that MacBook Air from 2013 felt more sturdy and capable than my current MacBook Pro. My first MacBook was the gorgeous, then-new MacBook White unibody (2009), which I traded in for a faster but heavier MacBook Pro (2011), which I traded in for that nimble workhorse, the mighty MacBook Air (2013).

Most of those apps, including all apps I’ve created between 20, were built on a 13″ MacBook Air with 8 GB of RAM and a 1.3 GHz Intel i5 CPU.

Since 2009 I’ve coded more than 50 apps for iOS, Android and the mobile web.
