Content

I am a programmer who has stuttered since I was 4. You can absolutely continue to be a programmer with a stutter. Interviews are hard, but if you tell people that you stutter ahead of time, they will often try to make things easier for you. And even if not, they'll at least know what to expect. Programming is mostly about written communication. In most companies you'll spend most of your time talking via slack and writing documentation anyway. Everyone always needs programmers. Definitely keep up with it! You can talk with people on Reddit and similar forums about it, and you'll make contacts in the industry, and that will help you get jobs as well. If you like it, keep doing it. It's the best industry to be in.
