PassionateDeveloper_

Hi Mark,

thank you for doing your AMA :)

1) I am a senior software developer (fullstack, most C# with SQL backend, frontend in React now) since 14 years, I work full time in Germany, I am very hungry for knowledge,

I got offered several jobs with responsibility for other members but I am an asshole as boss, so I declined. I lead projects here and then but I love to dig deep into code, so I dont want to be on meetings every day all day.

I got into teaching 3 years ago, so I teached Java and Database at a german IT-School before Corona hit us, now I am just a developer again.

I feel stucked, but I don't even know why. Can u give me a advice what to do next?

2) 1 Month ago I started with the idea of creating a "coding camp" in Germany. So get a room, get 20 computers, another developer who whants to do it with me for free and offer 2 or 4 week courses in the summer holidays for kids around 12 to 16 years to get deep into IT and software development. I dreamed about teaching them all what I know and helping them to do the first steps into a new feature for them. I want to do it for free, spend my time for free and offer it to lower social kids instead of the rich ones - but for that I would have to have around 10K for all expenses for 4 weeks (starting at the room, renting the computer, having at least some drinks and food on the days etc.).

Any idea where to start to collect this money on this hard times?
