So much self doubt. So much information to overwhelm even the most educated of person. All you have to do is start.... and oh my did she start. </p> <p>She started, <br> she read, <br> she practiced till her eyes bled, <br> she cried, <br> she laughed at herself(often) <br> and then she conquered!!!"""</p> <p>Most advice I can say is never give up. Being confused means you are just about to learn something wonderful. To all the women in code who have embarked on this learning journey, Bravo!!</p> <p>Equality comes from respect. Not a single person writes something the same. Coding is a male dominated profession, yes. But it doesn't mean that one person is better than the next. I have had immense support from many, many, people since I started my coding journey. Male and female alike. I thank every single one who has guided and advised me. I respect the knowledge of my mentors, friends and influences I have met along the way.</p> <p>Dev has become my favorite go to place for information across many different topics. I love the community and I love my friends here :))))</p> <p>I hope many more women choose to take this career path. Good luck to you all x </p> wecoded
