Redefining Motivation. Redefining Myself.

Introduction

Honestly it has been a very hard time for me in general. As someone who's not only struggling to find place in the tech industry, but in the world. I don't necessarily have an agenda writing this blog post, but I want to keep it genuine as possible so I guess it works out.

Who...

I am someone trying to break into tech as a web developer. I express my creativity and solve problems big or small through web technology. I am a web developer!

const dev = {
who: "Andrew Kal"
};

What...

I am someone who is trying to code. I spend many hours learning, reviewing, revamping, debugging, and writing code. I write code!

const dev = {
who: "Andrew Kal",
code: "Hello, World",
what: function() {
return this.code;
}
};

When...

I am someone who likes to push things off the later so I don't have to deal with the intrinsic/emotional struggles (applying to jobs or starting a coding challenge). I have the ability to take a deep breath and shut out the noise and just work. I won't hesitate or self doubt, I will be nice to myself and forgiving.

const dev = {
who: "Andrew Kal",
code: "Hello, World",
what: function() {
return this.code;
},
when: "Just do it! Also don't neglect yourself!",
why: "I genuinely enjoy coding"
};

Why...

I am someone who knows I want to code for a career, but I am unsure if I am qualified. I have the foundations from relentless hours of coding, I have the skills from doing many projects, and I have the support and network to become a professional. I can get a job!

const dev = {
who: "Andrew Kal",
code: "Hello, World",
what: function() {
return this.code;
},
when: "Just do it! Also don't neglect yourself!",
why: "I genuinely enjoy coding"
};

How...

I am someone who doesn't know how to do it. I can efficiently problem solve and utilize resources. I can Google it~

const dev = {
who: "Andrew Kal",
code: "Hello, World",
what: function() {
return this.code;
},
when: "Just do it! Also don't neglect yourself!",
why: "I genuinely enjoy coding",
how: "Google it~"
};

Hello, World!

We cover:

JavaScript
console.log()

Introduction

Hello~ Hello~ Everyone! This is my first post!

Code

console.log("Hello~ Hello~ Everyone! This is my first post!");

What

I just logged into the console (In JavaScript), which is something I do quite often when I'm trying to debug or simply test my code! Now you are probably wondering what in the world is this random person on the internet writing about, and why?

Why

Well it's simple, I'm just doing what every programmer loves doing before they get started on anything new. Typing "Hello, World!" into their editor and seeing their instant feedback. (Does this work? Do I work?!)

Next...

Anyway, in my next post I will properly introduce myself in detail. IF that is ok with you all...
