I am in the process of learning to program in Go outside work.

This week I was facing an assignment as a product manager where I needed handle a challenge we face at work. I wanted to do proposal for a possible solution and I had an idea - so I decided to do a prototype in Go.

I got the prototype working and I could write up my findings for discussion with my developer colleagues. The prototype was simple, but I was confident I could do it in Go and I did in with fewer visits to fewer external resources than expected.

During my morning coffee I fell over this post and a Tweet from @jessitron

Once you reach the level of conscious incompetence, it’s very hard not to improve at something every time you do it, because you notice what’s wrong each time. @DRMacIver

And the responses mentioned the four stages of competence, which I recognised, even though I only new the representation as a matrix.

The situation reminded me of earlier when I was learning to program (I was a developer before I was a product manager), I learned by doing, I learned by challenges and I grew more and more competent and confident - now years later I am applying the same approach to learning a new language.

I am on the brink of being conscious incompetent - so things can only improve from here if I keep at it.

Thanks @jessitron - your tweet resonated with me in more ways than you can imagine

Being an introvert, I find it difficult to interact with new people. But recently had joined dev.to and last week only, published an article here for the first time. And the best part it got 7 reactions so far! yay🥳

I know its not much, but it still means a lot to me! 😌

I've been working on a complex feature at work. It's a cluster plot made with d3 that sits between two panels. I recently added some animations to make the panels slide in and out on hover, and remain locked open when you click a button. When the panels are locked open the cluster plot should resize fluidly. The resizing of the cluster plot has been giving me a lot of trouble. Long story short, I got it working.

Got assigned a task that required me to use a stimulus controller.

Spent most of yesterday and today going through the docs and successfully finished the task.
