Deciding to attend Le Wagon is turning out to be one of the most pivotal moments of my life more and more by the day. Before Le Wagon, I was on a path that I didn’t truly want to be on. I always had creative ideas, but did not realize how important this would be with regards to my career choice. I realized as I got older that I wanted to try and make a start-up, but it felt like it was too late for me as I had never studied computer science or written a line of code until fairly recently. The problem was that I was playing it safe by having decided to go to medical school due to a fear of trying to do what I really wanted to do. It was a very risky route to commit to, and the security of being a doctor sounded more appealing on paper, for a while at least. I always would procrastinate and tell myself that I would really follow my passions later, endlessly pushing the entrepreneurial can down the road and while making excuses. Going further into the medical school route, I began to feel a deep sense regret that I was not doing what I really wanted to do. I worried that if I were to make it to my deathbed not having tried my true calling, I would regret it more than anything else that could possibly happen in my life. To keep a very long story short, it was not working out, so I left medical school and eventually ended up at Le Wagon Bali.
Beforehand, while I was determining which coding program to attend, I researched my options pretty heavily as picking the wrong program could build a broken foundation and set you on a terrible programming trajectory compared to picking the proper one. Le Wagon appealed to me for several reasons above all of the others. Compared to the closest equivalent American programs, it was much more affordable for a nearly identical curriculum. Just as important though, it was the only course I found that maintained an entrepreneurially inspired, product-based framed approach in its curriculum. With an end goal of wanting to build a startup above all else, this appealed to me above nearly all else. These factors along with the unanimously amazing reviews, diverse classroom locations, and the seemingly awesome culture fostered by the program were why I decided to eventually apply and enroll.
Let’s be completely honest here, the program is incredibly intense. It feels as though it moves at nearly light speed to the point where it feels like trying to drink all of the water coming from a fire hydrant. I prepared myself for the program ahead of time far more than was recommended, and I still found myself struggling often. There were days that by the time I would get home, I felt completely dejected and would have no confidence in my ability to even complete the program and learn what was required to make a start-up by myself. I even doubted that the program was legit in its claims at times. However, throughout the course, they always would tell us to trust them and their process, so my batch and I all did that to help cope with our suffering more effectively. Keeping the end goal of the reason I left medical school and came to Le Wagon in mind, to make my own start-up ideas get brought to life rather than just dreaming about doing so for the rest of my life, and with the help of the amazing staff and classmates, I persevered until the end when I finally really understood the big picture. During many parts of the program, it’s admittedly incredibly hard to see the forest amongst the trees. We spend weeks learning concepts as they stand alone, but it doesn’t all come together in a big picture sort of way until the end when the Rails framework is introduced to us to bring everything that we learn together to create real life apps. Everything taught to us during the class that is included in the curriculum is there to be taught to us for a reason. The structure of the program is all very well thought out to teach us what we need to know in the most effective and practical manner.
It’s important to note again that due to how intense and fast-paced the program is, much of the real learning is achieved during the final weeks of the program. It’s much more effective to learn these concepts in a practical real-world way by bringing them to work together via developing an actual working product from scratch than it is to learn about them in a stand-alone manner. They all interact together, which is what makes the product-based approach to Le Wagon so amazing. Overall, I’m very happy that I decided to join Le Wagon. The culture that Le Wagon has built is an amazing and inspiring one to be a part of through the suffering and long-days we experienced. The teachers are really the best. They are so patient, helpful, and kind. Many have gone through Le Wagon at some point themselves, so they truly do understand what we are going through. The resources provided to us as students and alumni are both life-saving and game-changing. The learning never really ends when it comes to the software universe, and Le Wagon really does an amazing job at providing a solid foundation with which to build upon for the various futures that its alumni wish to create for themselves. I’m working on bringing an MVP version of my own start-up to life right now as I write this, all thanks to Le Wagon. I was never able to learn these ideas by myself when I tried to teach everything to myself alone, and I am eternally grateful that Le Wagon was able to help me learn how to do this all. I feel that Rails is by far the best framework to learn in order to develop a way to bring your own start-up ideas to life quickly and effectively. Ruby is a very beginner friendly programming language to learn as well when starting off too. I’m grateful that I had a chance to attend Le Wagon, and I would highly recommend it to everyone who is considering enrolling.
