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!

How The News of AI Replacing Programmers Affected Me About 9 months to a year ago, I thought all the hard work I'd been doing was turning out to be a waste of time... The word on everyone's lips was,

How I Worked Through Fixing A JavaScript Problem in The CodeHS Curriculum
I am really feeling good right now! I am most certainly still a novice, but I am finally understanding how Javascript operates. I can not explain to you how clueless I was about coding! I was lost and the only thing I could do was pick away at my key...
Since I began coding, about two months ago, my life has been very solitary. I find myself thinking of nothing else.
I think of how I want to develop my website, what I am going to write in my niche area, and all the different things I want to learn. It's very exciting when I finish a project or figure out what I did wrong and fix the coding.
A great example of this, this evening I was working on a project, at freeCodeCamp, to learn accessibility. I did everything correctly with my code, but it kept telling me my code didn't pass. I said, "what the hell." I tried retyping the elements, I made sure I didn't make any spelling errors, I made sure my tags were within the right tags.
I couldn't figure out the solution. Finally, I looked at the entire code. Somehow a closing bracket was removed. I fixed the problem, and low and behold, with the click of the "check my code" button, the result appeared..."your code passed," and I was able to move forward. I felt a sense of real accomplishment.
I've been so consumed in coding and writing, I neglected my yoga and prayer. I have been intentional about including them in my daily routine. I didn't want to lose time at the keyboard, but I had to give respect to the things that helped me get to this point. I figure it's going to be what sustains me as well.
The only thing I do is work on getting my new profession established. I find it consumes me and it's all I want to do. My only other interest is thinking about my dream lover and hoping we'll spend some time together soon.
I welcome this season of focus, the fruit of this should be quite fascinating.
The thing I like best in all of this is personal growth. It is cool to see myself doing things I never dreamed of. it feels like I am living a dream at times, very surreal. I am grateful.
Well with these thoughts, I bid you,
Good night
