A short reflection on switching into software development — imposter syndrome, resource hunts, and the first to-do list app that flipped the switch from "learning" to "building."
Introduction
Every journey has its challenges and triumphs. Here’s mine.
The Beginning
I started my career in a completely different way. It wasn't until I discovered coding that I found my true passion.
Overcoming Challenges
Learning to code was not easy. I faced many obstacles, including:
- Imposter syndrome
- Time management issues
- Finding the right resources
The Turning Point
The moment I built my first application (A website with HTML CSS and JS), everything changed. It was a simple to-do list, but it ignited my passion for development.
Conclusion
Today, I am proud to call myself a developer, and I encourage anyone interested to pursue their passion.
Ship one thing that's yours. Momentum beats motivation — the first shipped project is what actually turns "trying to become a dev" into "being one."
