Hey there đź‘‹ hope you're doing well
And just like that... we've made it! This is Day 30 of my #30DaysOfCode journey, and honestly, I'm feeling a mix of relief and accomplishment. It's been a ride filled with code, chaos, and some serious self-discovery.
Here's a quick rundown of what I've been up to as I wrapped up the challenge:
Tech Issues Were Real: Today has been a complete mess. My new SIM card's internet just doesn't want to work properly. I've restarted my phone and checked everything, but no luck. It's so frustrating when you just want to code, and technology fights you every step of the way!
Backend Fundamentals: Despite the chaos, I managed to get a lot done. I finally studied the main HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE. Understanding that each method has a specific job was a huge lightbulb moment for me.
Discovering Express.js: I started learning Express.js, and now I get why everyone uses it. Building a server with just Node.js feels a bit low-level. Express.js is a fantastic framework that sits on top, making it much easier to manage routes and handle requests. It's a total game-changer.
My "A-Ha!" Moments: This challenge was full of them. Figuring out how to connect the frontend and backend, understanding Node.js's non-blocking architecture, and now seeing how Express.js simplifies everything—each of these moments felt like a big win.
Towards the end, I have to admit, I got a bit lazy and started procrastinating on posting. I'm really sorry for the gaps, and I'm super grateful to my three followers—and everyone else who was reading—for sticking with me.
This isn't the end of the road, though. This 30-day challenge was just the warmup. To keep the momentum going and dive even deeper into my newfound love for backend, I'll keep posting about my learnings.

Wow, 30 days straight—impressive. I usually give up after day 3… unless it’s something (or someone) actually interesting. And surviving bad internet, procrastination, and Node.js? That’s basically superhero energy—I’d ask where you get that strength, but I’m pretty sure it’s not in the docs.
