What do I think now about why I decided to learn software development?

July 5, 2016

Back in May, I wrote my very first thoughts on why I decided to learn software development. Back then I was inpatient, I was eager to get started and I have already wasted too much time not learning and writing about why I am learning felt counterintuitive, unproductive, and frustrating. On a whim, I wrote about how I wished I didn’t have to explain myself… when it was a leap of faith that I took to learn code. My future was in the air… and I wasn’t ready to talk about it until my immediate future start to take form. The mission was clear and simple. Learn and do everything Learn asks of you.

Now in July, I feel a certain comfort level with coding on a regular basis. Taking a problem and finding a way or numerous ways to solve it on my own or collaboratively in a team. Most of all, I now recognize the importance of writing [blogs] and documenting [my learnings] and share them with fellow learners. I hope in retrospect, this serve as a reminder to myself to keep an open mind and keep learning and writing.
