I was Scared of Github.

Hello, I’m Lokajna!
(Pronounced: Lo-kag-nya)

The Childhood

I am a young Indian developer. From 2024, I spent a lot of time watching people code on youtube and thought it was a game that would be impossible for me to master.

I saw everyone using GitHub, and I always wondered what it was for. Eventually, I tried watching tutorials on Git, but that turned into one of the biggest regrets of my journey so far. I understood nothing. I felt overwhelmed, broken, and sad.
Then I decided that I will never become a coder or a Github User

My Confusion

Back then, I couldn't differentiate between GitHub and coding. I thought coding was just as scary as Git. I had this idea that I needed to be a "perfect man" who knew everything before I even started.

My Confusion's Solution

I was wrong. After getting inspired by some amazing coders on YouTube, I decided to fight my own mind. After months of hesitation, I finally did it: I created my GitHub account today, even though I don't know how to code yet.

I realized I had to face the fear of the platform before I could face the fear of the code.

The Role Of Bees

Here is the funny part: During the GitHub verification, I had to do an audio puzzle to prove I wasn't a robot. The task is to find the sound of a bee among cat sounds.

I started laughing. I realized that if the "scary" GitHub only wanted me to find a bee, maybe it wasn't a monster after all. I expected a coding test just to sign up because I thought its going to be as complex as coding but it was just... bees and cats.

The Journey

I am 14 years old, and today is Day 1. I still don't know how to code, but I’ve overcome the first hurdle. I’m here to learn step-by-step and improve my English along the way.
