This February marks five years since quitting my corporate 9-5 job and jumping into indie hacking full time. Five years always felt like an important benchmark for my journey. Therefore, I wanted to take time to share the three biggest things I've learned so far, as well as reflect on my progress.

Occasionally I see people asking for stories about how self taught developers got their first job. Breaking into tech is hard with out a degree, and I too sought out content like this when I first started. So, I wanted to share my story.
