So yes, I really needed to breathe fresh air in this coding. I started to feel overwhelmed at some point in time and decided to spice up my learning process by getting additional material, and I learnt something new. All along, I had no idea that I could change the theme of my Google developer tools to black. So yes, I forgot to mention that I love it when the background of the pages I`m working on is black. As much as I can, I set the background colours to black when building pages, just before reverting it back to the desired colour for the page. Black is a colour that appeals to me a lot, I really do not like when colours keep flashing into my eyes randomly. Back to my Google developer tools, I tried it out and the theme indeed changed to black! A dark screen helps me a lot when working on the PC, trust me when I say that you don`t need too much light entering into your eyes as an individual.
And on another note, I think I may have discovered the issue with my HTML/CSS files in my own project. I really cannot explain why but I've been able to find a way to write my own HTML&CSS codes the way I want instead of following Angela Yu's methods line by line. I arrived at the same output at every single point in time with her, but now the issue is the fact that she introduced new lines that serve as a form of continuation to everything she's been teaching all along. The only way I know to solve this issue is to restart this course all over. Either I do this, or I deploy high-level debugging skills to locate my variances, which I am yet to acquire. The solution for me at this juncture is to restart the course and follow my teacher step by step for now. The time to experiment and do things my way will come along the line. I do not want to get into the trap of having too many materials and dragging things for too long before learning. As much as I want to learn things thoroughly, I must also be conscious of the fact that I do not have to necessarily spend a century learning this. I will start the project all over and see what happens this time around.
This paragraph marks the start of a new day, and something unique is going on right now at work. I am at work but we probably won`t do anything official today due to a certain policy. As a result of this, today is literally a free day for me. The ideal thing to do this morning is to sit down with my course and start it all over again. Let`s see how one goes from here. It is time to follow Angela Yu, step by step and not do anything outside what she teaches for now. On this particular day, I did go very far in the course satisfactorily. I eventually got to the root of the error in the previous project, and you will definitely not believe where I got it all wrong.
I made the mistake of not giving the "div-element" a top padding of 100 pixels! That was all I did that kept giving me the error all through the previous project. Every other thing I did kept reflecting the error on a larger scale. I learnt a valuable lesson with this particular mistake here, and that is the fact that a slight mistake that is left unchecked at the early stage can graduate into a major shipwreck in the long run. Imagine I had to start a project all over again because I forgot to add a top padding of 100 pixels.
On another note, I have not had time to sit down with programming satisfactorily for some days now. I have been setting up my own workspace for this whole journey, and the past 8 days or so have been totally demanding physically. But this will be all over in the next 8 days or so. And then I have all the time in the world to do my stuff effortlessly and be more productive in my tech journey. One thing that every developer needs, without fail is a personal workspace. I am grateful to God honestly, now I can be without the distractions that have consistently slowed me down in this programming.
This post is rather quite personal, but it won`t hurt to share this too. I look forward to what the period afterwards will look like for me in this tech journey. Finally, I have my very own work space!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God is too good and kind.
Stay tuned for more on this journey. ❤️
