Happy Birthday Ali

I used to doubt my path in software. Juggling between the backend and the frontend, I felt that my colleagues would take me less seriously if I focused on the frontend. You are a great inspiration and you have helped me to become empowered, creating a path between two routes, regardless of what others think.

This post is definitely my favourite one because the article is written by someone who understands the pain of newbies getting stuck in the "Tutorial Loop" and want to actually start building projects without the need to follow tutorial's instructions.

One important lesson I learn is how to pseudocode to help solve coding problems. It's thanks to that guide that I begin to make small, but tangible progress and decided to create join this platform.
