Discussion on: #CNC2021 "Code More" Pre-Mission Submission Thread

Hey everyone! I'm excited to participate in this challenge! Here are my responses:

What has worked:

1. Applying skills/material from a tutorial
2. Setting aside dedicated time to focus and code
3. Not worrying about perfection

Why those sessions were happy ones:

1. Felt fulfilling to apply material
2. Could see immediate results
3. Focused on myself and my own growth

What hasn't worked:

1. Not sticking to a dedicated routine to code
2. Falling into the trap of constantly completing tutorials
3. Shying a way from coding when I'm in a team

Why those unhappy things happened:

1. Not motivated enough to stick to coding
2. Not confident in my abilities to do more coding without tutorials
3. Afraid of failure and disappointing the team

Long-term goals:

1. Establishing a Github/Portfolio site
2. Having a habit of coding regularly outside my job
3. Blogging more on CodeNewbie and Dev about my experiences and projects I'm working on
4. Be prepared for technical interviews
5. Be ready to interview for my next role with companies that align with my personal goals and purpose
6. Have proficiency in Java, C++, Python
7. Explore front-end: HTML, CSS, JavaScript

Short-term goals:

1. Complete one project
2. Have a schedule to set aside some time to code outside of work each week
3. Be confident in my ability to code and continuing to learn more as I go
4. Blog about my experience with this challenge
