  1. I want to code more because:
    I would like a job, but I also want to have the ability to make my own programs with confidence and less stress.

  2. I know I’ll have reached my β€œcode more” goal when:
    I can come up with program solutions efficiently.

  3. My top three assumptions for reaching my goal are:
    I need a solid understanding of Data Structures. Dare I say appreciation for them.
    Developing patience and reading through errors and documentation.
    Getting involved with other coding projects to benefit the community.

  4. Of these assumptions, my riskiest is getting involved with other coding projects.

  5. When I think about my riskiest assumption, three possible root causes are:
    Letting strangers down when I said I would deliver
    Looking like a fool in front of other developers
    Breaking something I can’t fix

  6. 3 ways I might address these root causes are:
    To remind myself that most developers are in a similar position as me.
    Developers love the help and are willing to offer input when requested.
    Github & version control make it much less likely I’ll legitimately break something.

  7. Of these, the biggest cause that’s worth tackling first is learning more about Data Structures.
