I started my tutoring business in 2020. The lockdowns were in full swing, lots of people were using the downtime to switch careers. This got me thinking: I should start a business teaching people to code. When I was 14, I taught my brother's friend who did web design at uni how to code. It was an awesome experience and taught me so much.

Developing 11tyCMS has taught me so much about the impact of agile code on productivity. In early alpha, the code was inconsistent and difficult to follow. There were many quirks, all causing frequent bugs, slowing down debugging and draining my energy. It was starting to put me off working on it.
