The Story and Not The How-To Video
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...
It was an amazing day!
I figured out how to publish content on my cloud.
This is what happened, I was watching a how-to video about Google Cloud, a 3-hour video. I thought I needed to know everything about the cloud to do anything. I was completely intimidated and without any context of publishing on the web, period, I got to watching.
About 30 minutes into the video Simplilearn YouTube video The instructor began talking about different features. One, in particular, stuck out to me, he said Google had "quick start" instructions. I said to myself, let me see if I can do this without knowing every detail of cloud computing.
I rolled the dice and went for it, I said "what the hell, maybe I can figure it out, and if not, I'll just keep watching the video."
I clicked around and finally, after about 45 minutes or so, my first webpage went live. Some background information is necessary here. I signed up for my cloud account in August of this year, it's now November, damn near Thanksgiving. I'd been stressing and procrastinating, making empty promises to myself for months.

Now I am more excited than ever to design and build my professional site. I'll also learn more about the cloud, but not necessarily everything.
I'll probably get a badge or two so I can post some relevant certifications on my site. I want my clients and potential clients to feel secure about my skills and ability to deliver. I'll have it all figured out by the time this happens.
With these words, I bid you...
Good night
