Becoming 1% better each day.

I am starting my learning journey today and planning to document my learnings as daily dev.to posts for my own revision and for sticking to the practice of learning.

Why am I doing this?

I am a below average developer and I want to change that. So my goal is to learn and practice Frontend Development in depth to become a better software engineer than I am today.✨

How do I do this?

I don't have a roadmap as such. I used to plan a lot only to never follow it for straight 2 days and not following it threw me into an endless loop of planning and failing and planing again only to fail again.

So, TBH this is my hail mary strategy and I plan to learn and/or code each day and document my learnings here as daily posts to keep myself accountable. It feels good writing down my thoughts so might as well do the same to jot down what I learned each day, hoping this would motivate me to learn each day as I do enjoy writing. Plus, it is believed that if you can explain the concepts to another person or in a blog post, it means you have understood the topic well. So in that sense, explaining about what i learned in my own words would concrete my learnings too.

What am I learning?

I am a frontend Developer. So focus would be that and some DSA. Plan is to focus on one thing at a time, which I feel is what suits me. This might change along the way but for now I am sticking to 1 thing at a time.

How long am I doing this for?

I am targeting for 100 days of continuous learning.

Let's see how this goes. cheers!✨

Good luck, Della - be proud of what you know, not scared about all of the things you don't. There will always be a million things you have no idea about. I know that's true for me. Having a set of things you do know, and using those things to make stuff, and keep learning more adjacent things to keep pushing yourself, is the way to succeed in my experience.

Good luck!

I encourage you to use AI for coding and learning. You can learn much faster while building and having tons of fun at the same time. I used to be skeptical about it, but since then I’ve increased my learning speed by ten times.

Thanks Richard! I am starting with Javascript from 33jsconcepts.com/ - I find it very informative and easy to follow. For more reading about any specific topic I go to MDN docs. Also 33jsconcepts.com/ has links to other resources for each concepts for more reading.

Thanks for the welcome thread link!
