Runner, creator, YouTube personality, and founder of @irunonbeer. Whether I'm running a 100-mile race, or diving into the world of coding, I'm always looking to venture outside my comfort zone.
1. What are your coding goals? With zero previous experience, I’m considering a career shift to allow for more flexibility in my work/personal life. I’ve been dipping my feet into coding so my current goal is to keep pushing forward to discover if I continue to enjoy the world of coding as much as I have so far. 2. What does successful learning look like to you? As I still feel so new to coding, I think success for me right now is consistent forward progress. With 3+ hours of commuting, 8 hours of work, 8 hours of sleep, and usually an hour or so of running, it’s very easy to “relax” during my downtime. I’m doing my best to take advantage of every free minute, especially on the weekends! 3. How do you plan to measure your success? Progress on fCC is an easy indicator and participation in challenges like #CNC2022! I also measure success with each new project that I successfully complete. I’m having fun taking on small design challenges to test my knowledge and continue to strengthen these new skills. 4. Do you have any particular timeline/deadline for learning to code? I haven’t set any specific timelines or deadlines for myself except that I’ve got my eye on a Spring 2023 coding boot camp as an option (I work on a college campus and that’s when I could qualify for tuition reimbursement). By the start of summer, I’m hoping I’ll have a good idea of whether I’m ready to commit to coding as a potential career shift and start making more concrete plans for the future.
