I've had major imposter syndrome, especially since I'm still a beginner in my coding journey. I was afraid of judgment because it felt like everyone already knew everything. I realized to focus on my own journey and to tackle my fears head-on because that's the only way to learn. So I want to use this space to hold myself accountable and to connect with like-minded individuals. Honestly, we don't have to be like-minded; you can learn from just about anybody.</p> <p>My name is Chris, and I'm excited for what's ahead.</p> <p>I just realized this post looks like an email hahaha.</p> beginners welcome codenewbie
