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...
I wanted to understand what I'd done. I built my first business website for a local mechanic. I created 3 static pages, wrote the copy on every page and included 3 free blog posts, all my original content. I thought it would be easy because I was using wordpress.com, the free user friendly platform for beginners. I quickly realized I had no idea what the hell I was doing. It was an arduous process, but I delivered, to the best of my newbie abilities.
My plan was, and still is, to reflect on the process and find ways to improve. Ironically, a few days ago, I stumbled on a website thinkful.com. I thought is was built with such careful attention to detail, I was going to do a review.
This morning I went back to the site, I was going to prepare notes for my post. As I looked through the site I found a coding bootcamp class. UX/UI Design Bootcamp, I'd never heard of UX design, so I Googled it. Low and behold it was the answer to my question.
I wanted a better way to approach website design, that included an understanding of the customer experience. This was exactly what I had in mind.
A bit more research led me to actual sites that are set up just for building these dynamic websites. Contentful.com, Notion.so, Webflow.com and a few other cool sites, that promote the customer experience through design. I choose Webflow. I am excited to start a new project with a performance tool that will help me design with purpose.
This week I discovered part of my coding purpose, is using code to give life to invisible ideas.
Some other things I learned this week:
take notes and memorize as much code as possible
understand what each coding element does
I accidentally hit the wrong button to submit my work and the warning above appeared. This thoughtful feature, saved me from re-doing a ton of work. I appreciate these safeguards.
It was a great week in coding!
