Week 1: Hassles & Tackling Problems

Introduction

Hello, I almost forgot I had to post on the 30th. I probably would have forgotten if I hadn’t checked my calendar last night.
(Yeah, not the best sign right at the start… but I’m not giving up this time.)

What the initials chapters taught me?

So, I started learning from The Odin Project, and I’ll be honest — the first few chapters felt a bit redundant. But I made a decision before starting: I’m not going to skip anything.

Even if something feels basic, I want to build a strong foundation this time instead of rushing ahead and getting stuck later (which has definitely happened before).

And I’m glad I didn’t skip.
The initial chapters on Motivation & Mindset turned out to be surprisingly refreshing. They made me reflect on how I’ve approached learning in the past — and what I’ve been missing.

One word that really stuck with me: grit.

Problems (Hardware Bottlenecks)

So, As guided by The Odin Project I must install WSL or, Linux on Dual boot or, Do Only Linux installation. And, My PC sucks (1 TB HDD, 128 GB SSD) and, I've finally decided to spend ~70%(The prices 😭) of my savings on this 1 TB NVME (M.2 SSD) to replace. Yeah a hassle, but I'll continue the lessons till the SSD arrives! and hope my SSD doesn't give completely under Low space messages.

P.S.: Next post on 7th May' 26.
