Learn to code.

My learning so far

I absolutely love learning to code. I gave it up to vibe code earlier last year and completely regret it. At first it felt like I was moving faster, but over time I realized I was skipping the part that actually made me better.

My learning journey is fueled by passion and the hopes to move into a Go/SWE/Cloud type role. I do not know exactly how I will go about doing so, but I will work until I am noticed.

Right now I am trying to focus on building real understanding. Not just getting something to work, but knowing why it works. I want to be able to read errors, debug my own code, understand the tools I am using, and slowly become the kind of developer that can solve problems without panicking.

Learn to code!

If anyone has any doubts on if coding is "worth it" still, I can account for how personally fulfilling it is. Solving a bug/problem in your own code gives me a personal high.

There is something different about struggling with something, walking away, coming back, and finally seeing it click. It reminds you that you are actually learning. Every small fix feels like proof that you are getting better.

I am not against using tools or AI. I still think they can be helpful. But I do think there is a big difference between using them to learn and using them to avoid learning. I had to learn that the hard way.

So if you are new, or if you stopped for a while like I did, I really think you should keep going. Build small things. Break stuff. Fix it. Read docs even when they are boring. Ask questions. Take notes. Let yourself be bad at it for a while.

I do not know where this journey will take me yet, but I know I want to keep showing up.
