🚀 Starting from Zero
Just a few days ago, I didn't even have a GitHub account.
Now, I have a profile, a blog, and a goal:
To become a software engineer and move abroad with my family someday.
This is how I got started.
👤 Step 1: Choosing My Dev Name
I created a GitHub account under the name sankworks, a combination of my name and the idea that I'm building something. It feels like the first brick of a very long but exciting road.
🗂️ Step 2: Making My Profile
I created a repository named sankworks and added a simple README that introduces myself:
- 🇰🇷 Korean civil servant learning to code
- 👨👩👦 Studying for my family and future
- 🧑💻 Dreaming of becoming a developer and building smart homes
- 📫 Contact: [email protected]
It felt silly at first… but writing it down made the dream feel real.
✍️ Step 3: Joining dev.to
I wanted a place to document my journey — not just code, but the why behind it.
That’s why I joined dev.to and wrote my first post:
Why I’m Learning to Code as a Civil Servant in Korea
💭 Why I'm Sharing This
I’m still a total beginner.
I’ve only written a basic Python login script so far.
But I’m learning every day — and maybe this post will inspire someone else out there who’s also starting late, or starting scared.
If that’s you: you’re not alone. Let’s keep going. 💪
Thanks for reading! 🙌
