As I come on Hashnode in my free-time combined with my dyslexia and English not being my mother language I will not actively look for grammar and/or spelling mistakes. Bear with me.

I would suggest something that I myself do - play a team sport. In my case, that's hockey (field). I've done this since I was 7, having played a few years of top-class sport in my youth. It's good for your body and mind as you do a whole lot of cardio and attending the third-half after with your teammates :)
Negative Code is something that I've never been aware of before I started to attending school. Before this, I would mostly copy/paste other work into the projects to make my customers their website. I only coded a few lines here and there to fix some things I could find out myself or I asked it on Stack Over Flow. I was almost always was the person below. Knowing now how important it is to have the proper and understandable code I would not be reluctant to say, without having almost no copy of the work I did from that time, that it mostly was hold together by pieces of duct tape because of not knowing about negative coding.
At 24 I was working on my own company focused on websites and working around 24/30 hours in Sales. Was I happy? Quite yes. Was I satisfied with my salary and job? No. I did enjoy the sales time - it helped me a whole lot in gaining knowledge and practical skills of selling and talking. I had to go door-to-door and walk up to people on the streets. Only it wasn't what I really wanted to end with. I lost the joy in coding while partying and bringing in quite some money for my age and hours I put in the work. This year (almost 2 years later, as I'm moving on to my 26th year on the 28th) I've started following an education of Computer Science and after a bumpy first start I'm enjoying coding again - while still maintaining a nice average of what I earned before this.
