Three years later

I was supposed to have achieved more than a mere 3 blog post and a developer title in 3 years but, well, didn't age as expected.

Life is full of surprises and you never k now where the next blow comes from. Let's go deeper.

Started off as an accountant, dreamt of making a career change and it did materialise yet the next most challenging stage seemed way tougher than we all thought, we referencing me and the two other me's who lives inside my head rent free. No one said breaking into tech would be easy yet I did expect it to be.

Thoughts are running away, I had so many packed sentences and as soon as I started penning them down, you know what happened. Am forced to prematurely end the flow of a would have been sweet read story but I promise next time I'll blog in a better way so you have a reason to keep coming back and see if that has happened.

THE ART OF CROWDFUNDING

May I start with a slight disclaimer that indeed the above title might not be fully painted based on the below content, I mean it's just a tiny individual exploring his mind - achievements so far.

Not sure where to start but here we go. Fast forward four months ago I did wake up after what I'd confidently term as careful consideration to make a switch. Even thou I knew this would come out of my desire to be a coder, never did I imagine that the idea would tear me apart this much. See, the then career was purely supposed to be the bridge into coding but again fate has it's own way of overturning our dear desires.

With a good chunk of savings, I initiated the thoughts powered by the need to invest in the hardware before the final move, bootcamp. As if luck had gave up on me, that same period it struck home. No more of what was thought to being 'enough' for the Prep.

Man down!

It's time to yell and ask for help. This was not anywhere close to the plan but again it turned itself in. So the minds are supposed to work around what is to be a successful crowdfund and mark you that's after two months with no single donation made. There's a lot to this and I feel like more time still need be considered before the final draft, a sit stands now, The Art of Crowdfunding will be served shortly by yours truly -Aspiring Full-stack Developer with a side eye on Blockchain.

Until then, here I am still trying to come into terms from which direction the funds will come or get donated from.

Hello world!

As the unwritten norm states, my first program is up and running even thou am yet to make an installation of the much-needed development environments.

Here is a take from a tiny boy who still believes that indeed the developer tag will be his new title before the kid(2019) grows some teeth.
Not so sure what the right title would have been, let's stick with the above since all am trying to do is make a transition over the code life. I strongly believe am meant to be that guy, working endless times to birth a solution, but before that am also willing to travel down the rejection & frustration path.

Enough of my first words, seeing am all new to this world after reading along threads encouraging new entrants to aim at making technical blog posts on a promise that this will greatly give them (us) the much-needed skills to make a presentation, and generally get to communicate effectively.

On a separate news, you may be willing to give a look onto my campaign, knowing that any form of help stands appreciated.
