About
To me, writing code is art. It may sound cliché, but coding is like crafting an experience that allows anyone to see the world from your perspective. Take, for example, TikTok. Before it became the wildly popular and intuitive app we know today, its original developers and designers envisioned a unique way of creating and consuming content. They imagined a platform where creativity could be showcased in short, engaging bursts, and they brought that vision to life through their code.
Similarly, as a software engineer, you have the power to create applications that resonate with users on a personal level, allowing them to engage with your ideas and innovations. Coding is not just about solving problems; it's about sharing your perspective and inviting others to experience the world as you see it. It's about building connections through the digital art you create, one line of code at a time.
