βIn my coding future, I would like to see creativity and collaboration. One of the biggest surprises for me about the coding world was how creative you can truly be. Coming from an artistic background, this was a huge realization for me; I had always imagined tech to be nothing but data output, but the community of people sharing their work and creating new ways of solving problems is extremely inspiring to me, and I can't wait to learn more.β
