I thought long about writing down some of my thoughts about this path I started (in my spare time) already a couple of years ago. I thought: who cares about what I wanna do?

I am 32years-old, I am a medical doctor quite proud of what I do daily and English is not definitively my native english. What I do in my daily job though satisfy just one side of my soul.
Since I was a student I had the passion for programming: I developed some projects, some has been released, some just stayed in my HDD (hard dream drive – as I liked to call it). Everybody has a drawer of dreams – and in my case it is an old WD HDD, used for my projects.

I tried a lot looking for some experience that could give me some chance in the informatic field as a doctor, without any success though. How could I mix my programming skills in a completely different field as it is my job?

I bought my first book “Statistical analysis with R” in the far 2018. I studied it for about half of it (I dislike the collection “for dummies”, don’t know why but so it goes) and it wasn’t that bad as I thought.

Than it is just a sequence of failures while analyzing with R data of my thesis… ANOVA, multivariate analysis, logistic and linear regression…what the hell!

I just gave up, too long, too different from my interests (programming: PHP, Java, mySQL…). Python? “If I can’t learn while building MY project that is going go be finishing soon.” – was my answer.

2019 passed, dreaming, hoping, wishing. Than Covid-19 came.

All our lives have definitively changed. So did mine.
