Once again, I'm feeling that dreadful, almost paralyzing feeling you get when you have to leave the safe confines of the classroom, look at a blank editor & build using concepts you haven't tinkered with yet. But I'm noticing a pattern. I've overcome this feeling twice in the past 4 months. And it's just that...a feeling. It means nothing at the end of the day. If anything, I'm starting to recognize this feeling as a signal that growth is about to occur in me. The faker data, closures, and Friend Finder modules were eye-opening to me. It's a healthy reminder that I need to double down on studying my fundamentals. What's the difference between var, const, and let? What's the difference between primitive & non-primitive data types, etc. Projects loading %... 🙏🏻

I've been going super hard on JavaScript this last month. I've been running into this issue lately where my designs have over-reached into concepts I haven't touched on yet. Now I think I'm primed and ready to learn about objects, arrays, loops and data. And I can feel it in my bones. When I learn these concepts and imprint them in my mind, my personal applications are going to go absolutely bonkers. I'm designing throwaway mini-application after mini-application after mini-application so I can burn these concepts into my skull. Cristian is going to turn ALL OF US into savages if we go that extra mile. We're all winners here. Nobody wants to become developers more than the people in this room. Keep on pushing 🚀

I'm super happy, super proud to announce that tonight the co-founder of my dream company called me to say:"you've got the job"! Thank you so much @Cristian Florea for your support, for your just awesome mentorship, you've been a key pawn in my journey and I'm so grateful for the day my husband told me : " I found you a mentor". To all of you in this community I'm saying this: - Keep your enthusiasm up, it's the key ingredient to your success - Keep grinding and focusing on what you can do every day to achieve your goals - Go the extra mile, don't just do the basics, look for ways to expand your knowledge and do more than what Cristian tells you to do - When you get to the job search part, the most important thing is to be confident, honestly, 80% is attitude and 20% is skills when it comes to marketing yourself. ( the guy who hired me told me he had more skilled candidates but what landed me the job was my positive energy, good vibe and can-do attitude). - Don't focus on the money, focus on your purpose. Money will follow. Thank you @Elias Fairfield for your continuous support. I love this community and gave it 💯. And it gave back to me. For any questions, advice , tips or just some motivation, my DM is always open, here or on linkedin. PS this is me on the day of my first "hello world".

So, I took a little break from Socialmedia post exercise to do just a "few easy challenges" on Codewars, but that slowly turned into a personal challenge to get from 8 kyu to 5 kyu in under 24 hours. 😂 Spoiler, it didn't take 24 hours. I flew from 8 kyu to 6 kyu in under a day and thought I was unstoppable. Then I met the 4 and 5 kyu problems and got fixated on some tough ones and my ego refused to back down, and I spent the next 30 hours (not non-stop haha) in a "revenge coding" loop trying to solve them. And, I finally made it to 5 kyu! It was a fun (but slightly insane) challenge lol. But I'm not sure if it would qualify me for the "React" course cuz I still haven't finished some projects and content in the JS-II module yet. Anyway, back to the project-based learning!
