I`m American but live in a small village in Karangasem, east Bali. I`m married to a Balinese hindu priestess. I`m connected to the internet using a rechargeable wireless modem that takes a SIM card. If I want broadband I need to drive about 5 miles (7km) to the nearest Telkom office. I`ve watched a few hundred videos on udemy.com about 5 times over to learn react-native, JavaScript ES6, github, and sketch. Through marriage I inherited a house and now don`t need to worry about rent. This makes it possible to study react-native, write code, and troubleshoot all day. I sell Balinese priest bells on ebay for lunch money. Soon I will be getting paid for a react-native project I`m working on. I`m still pretty new to programming but I have ran into and fixed enough problems in my own code and setup to be able to help out with useful information here and there. I hope to help support my fellow programmers and help all the beginners because we have a very hard transition in the beginning. I will also refrain from saying things like You`re lazy. Read the official docs. because it is so difficult to know where to find the correct information as a beginner and there is so much information that it is overwhelming. While spending many hours troubleshooting and studying I`ve had people say things like this and it`s not helpful or constructive. It`s mostly hurtful and also causes stress when we`re already exhausted. Be humble. We need to have patience with beginners. ©
