From Scratch to Python: Discovering My Passion
Hey there! I’m Erjon, an 18-year-old high school student near Munich, and I want to share my exciting journey of becoming the youngest Kubestronaut in the world.
Believe it or not, my adventure didn’t begin with Kubernetes — or anything remotely similar. When I was about 10 or 11, my mom enrolled me in Scratch programming classes in Munich. To be honest, my first reaction wasn’t exactly enthusiastic. Coding didn’t grab me immediately, and after a short while, I drifted away.
Fast forward a few years — I was nearly 15 and decided to give programming another shot with a Python crash course by Jannis Seemann on Udemy. Unexpectedly, I fell head over heels this time. Python sparked something inside me, and I soon found myself diving into Harvard’s CS50. It was challenging, sometimes frustrating, but ultimately rewarding, setting a solid foundation for my programming skills.
