This week I finally "got" JavaScript. I even started to enjoy it!
I taught myself HTML and CSS 16 years ago, as a kid just starting secondary school. I never wanted to be a developer. I just wanted the skills to build my own website. That was until those skills landed me a sweet front-end job... with no knowledge of JavaScript. I was lucky. I started studying it a few months ago, but convinced myself nothing was sinking in. I was NEVER gonna get my head around JavaScript...
Until this week, when I solved a tricky challenge effortlessly... and then another... and then another... and then another. I found myself seeking challenges out, looking for problems to solve just because I knew I could.
Turns out I was learning all along, and things were sinking in. My low self-esteem just wanted me to give up. :D
