I grew up at a time and place where programmers (potential mentors) where few and far between.
Finding coding opportunities were tough outside of college, so I felt like I had to go into a CS program. Still having a friendly community was very difficult to find and maintain connections to.
It's so great to know that there are more welcoming communities out there now.
The tech landscape is always evolving, just like the world, so I think there amount of communities and support is only increasing which is wonderful ππ
