Hello, I'm Devmo

My journey into programming began a few years ago. When I was about 11, I created my first Minecraft server. From there, I wanted to have my own plugins and tried to teach myself Java, but it didn't go very well. Around that time, I switched from PS4 to PC and started communicating with my friends via Discord.

One day, I received a server invite from someone I didn't know. Today, I realize it was just someone sending mass DMs to advertise their "gaming" Discord server, but back then, I was thrilled.

I actively participated in the Discord server until I met a user named "Lolgamer." He told me he wanted to program free Discord bots for server owners but had no idea how to do it. Neither did I, but I wanted to help him because I enjoyed seeing others use things I created. So, I told him that I had been programming bots for a long time and would love to help. He was excited to have finally found someone to program the bots for his project. He gave me my first task, but I didn't know anything. I only knew how to host a Minecraft server on a VPS, and that was it. That evening, I watched a ton of tutorials on how to program a Discord bot. Then I came across "Discord Bot Studio" on Steam, where you could build a Discord bot using simple blocks. I showed Lolgamer what I had programmed, and he liked it.

Over the next few days, I created different Discord bots for several servers based on their requests until someone wanted a music bot. To do that, I needed to use an API to download songs from YouTube, but the tool I was using couldn't do it. I couldn't just decline the task because then they would think I wasn't capable. So, I got a script from GitHub and edited the bot messages to make it look like I had programmed it myself. But then I realized something. The tool I was using was programmed by someone else, just like the script for the music bot.

This thought occupied my mind for hours because I didn't have the freedom I had always imagined. I was limited by what the developer included in the tool, and I didn't like that. So, I decided that the only way forward was to learn programming myself.

For the next few days, I focused solely on programming my own Discord bot with JavaScript. With the help of the Discord.js documentation and a lot of YouTube tutorials, I managed to create a functional bot with JavaScript.

But shortly after, I was kicked out of the server, and it turned out that Lolgamer's account had been hacked. Everything we had built, the entire server with around 800 members, was gone...

At first, I didn't know what to do, but I couldn't just throw away everything I had learned. I wanted to start fresh and decided to get a new logo made on Fiverr. I liked how Fiverr was set up and that both the customer and the seller were guaranteed to get what they wanted. I decided to offer Discord bots on Fiverr and worked on making my gig as convincing and professional as possible, and it paid off. I received so many requests that I had to pause my gig. I programmed bots for YouTubers like "iamlucid" and met many people for whom I still program a lot of things today. I also received many orders related to crypto and NFTs, which I knew nothing about at first but learned over time. At some point, however, I had to stop for a while becuse school became more stressing.
