Hi, I’m Jake — a self-taught developer documenting the journey of breaking into tech, and helping others do the same.
After running my own web consulting agency for 7 years, I realised what I truly love is building things and solving real problems — not chasing clients. Now, I’m focused on becoming a software engineer and sharing everything I learn along the way.
If you’re teaching yourself to code and struggling to stay consistent, feel stuck, or just want to make real progress toward your first job in tech, this channel is for you.
I'm sharing my practical coding tips, honest updates, mini-project ideas, and mindset shifts to help you keep moving forward.
Also, I have a free newsletter you should join called 'Coder's Companion'. Get weekly advice and behind the scene updates to keep your coding momentum strong. https://codercomeback.substack.com/welcome
