Since then, I got serious and consistent about learning Python, aiming to dive into RE (reverse engineering). By mid-2020, I had a decent understanding, but that wasn't enough. I shifted my interest to another programming language, PHP. I learned CLI and web servers simultaneously until the end of 2020.

From late 2019 to the end of 2020, I did all of this on my Android device, an 8.1 (Oreo) 32-bit with 2/16 GB RAM, which I bought with my first salary. The best android terminal I knew and used at that time is Termux. I also used editors like Nano and Vim, along with some Android code editor apps, despite their limitations. but that wasn't enough to make me give up. I joined several online communities and even created my own. talking with ppl which have knowledgeable are really enjoyable.

As early 2021 rolled around, my RL responsibilities increased, leaving me with insufficient rest. I disbanded the community I created and left all the others.

A year passed until early 2022, I already had a powerful desktop, and my busy schedule began to ease. I revisited everything I had learned, although I couldn't stay as consistent and competent in programming as before.

Up until now, I've got a good grasp of languages like JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, and Python. I also familiar with web scrapper, bot automation, web server, CLI, RE, scripting lang (bash) and .etc. I only learn what I feel necessary and truly needed. Sometimes I take on part-time/freelance work, create private projects to sell, and work on public personal projects just for fun during my free time.

And during holidays, you can call me a weekend coder. I'm not a genius human and I don't have a higher education or a degree in IT because my real life job has nothing to do with it.
