Start First, Learn by Doing: My Thoughts on Growth 🚀

Hello Dev Community! 👋

I want to share a simple but important thought I’ve realized on my journey:

You don’t need to be perfect to start.

I’m not perfect, and I don’t know everything yet — but I’ve decided to start doing things instead of overthinking. I’m exploring Python, building beginner-friendly projects, contributing to open source, participating in communities, and practicing DSA.

The key is learning by doing practical things. Every project, every contribution, and every small step teaches me more than endless planning ever could.

If you’re also learning something new or thinking about starting, just start. Don’t wait for perfection — growth comes from action and experience 🌱💻
