Jeremy Yamaguchi taught himself to code because he was tired of designing things that never got built. He ran a web agency in his late teens, picking projects that solved real problems for people he knew, then scaling outward from there.
How do you choose your projects? Because it's like you could do anything. It's like you're a driven person, you want to create things.
So I originally was a designer in my kind of middle teens, would create beautiful things on computers because I found it fun, and then realized that I needed to learn to code to add function to the form because I was tired of designing things that lived in a hard drive and no one ever saw and didn't really do anything. So taught myself how to code, started building websites for friends, and ended up building that into an agency in kind of my late teens that I ran until, you know, 20, 21-ish kind of time frame. But that was just a a journey of let's go build things that help people close to me and then, oh, this is a useful skill. I can extend it to people further afield and ultimately build a business around it.
