Remembering Difficult concepts.
Maybe a bit off the exact topic - but realizing that just because some piece of software doesn't fit my needs doesn't mean it won't exactly fit someone else's needs.
I like things with lots of switches and levers to make it exactly how I want - but clients/users will sometimes want things set more in stone so they can don't have to fiddle with all the settings!
Remembering I Got This.
I got interest on tech on age of 7 (yeah, really early). What intimidated? - Feel to explore possibilities with technologies (now just enjoying my choice).
The command line :)
Haha true
Yup!
Thinking my 40's was too late to start learning to code.
When my code stopped working during an interview. (Dude you were embarrassed me in front of the wizards๐งโโ๏ธ. )
I always thought that only really smart people can program. Well, here I am ๐
The command prompt ๐คฃ
Same!
The vast amount of languages to understand! I started with C and it was incredibly hard to comprehend everything at first. There were many days I wanted to give up.
Eventually I had to learn JavaScript, and realized that once you learn one language it is fairly easy to transfer that knowledge to another language!
This is pretty similar to my on journey hahaha. My first language was C and I thought "I'm not cut out for this". That's why I moved from backend to fronted and learning JS has been an exciting journey.
