These are the raw confessions of the growing pains I experience as I learn software engineering. I am learning on my own but with lots of priceless resources online. You'll hear about these resources in my articles. Please pray for me!

Problem Solver.

That is the adjective used in many articles and multimedia applications to describe a person that knows code.

I stumbled upon coding innocently enough. And as I am becoming familiar with the connection computer programmers have to the world and how it operates, I've been contemplating how am I going to help solve world problems. And is it my responsibility to use my skills to do such?

I Googled the biggest problems the world is facing some of them are: food insecurity, climate change and poverty. This is just the shortlist!

It's inescapable that some type of electronic device and code is going to rescue humanity from these catastrophes. I barely know HTML and CSS, but the bigger picture is presenting itself as I dive into this world of development. I want to do my part and this thought process could effectively redirect my web development career path.

I am in this shit now and I enjoy my work thus far. I am just holding onto my seatbelt, this is going to be a hell of a ride.

With these words, I bid you...

Good night
