Young African programmers face challenges like limited access to learning resources, high cost of internet and devices, lack of mentorship, limited job opportunities, power outages, and lack of localized content.
Possible remedies include government and private sector support, online and offline learning communities, mentorship programs, freelancing and remote work opportunities, improving infrastructure, and creating localized learning content.
Despite obstacles, young African programmers are overcoming challenges with resilience and community support. Investment in infrastructure, affordable internet, and mentorship can help Africa become a global tech powerhouse.
