The goal of the project I undertook was to make a website that looks like this:
It took me an exhausting 4 days to complete the project. There were so many things I did not understand, and I was frustrated to my wits' end. Although I ploughed through and got to the finished product, I was unsure about how I actually did in the end.
I looked around and found that many other people had completed the same project, so I checked them out. They didn't seem to be getting much feedback, yet many seemed to be seeking it (There is a feedback request field that you fill in which is posted after your solution to let others know what you want feedback on).
So I decided to give some feedback in hopes of receiving one in return.
To be honest, I am still a newbie, so my feedback wasn't too great. The person's code was more advanced than mine, which is what I wanted since I wanted good feedback, but felt a little ashamed at my inability to give feedback that would help the individual.
After 20 minutes or so, I received a reply.
After clicking the link to see the reply, there was a kind response letting me know that there was some feedback left on my solution.
So I went to my solution, and what I saw before my eyes almost made me gasp.
This person had wrote an entire page's worth of feedback for me. I felt such gratitude for this soul who would take such precious time out of their day to check my code. The person gave me a lot of tips and some resources to check out for checking my fundamental knowledge, which I was surely lacking.
So the biggest lesson I learned was to seek feedback, in any way possible. This probably applies to any skill that you are trying to develop. If I had not received feedback from this person, my code would not progress and I would be forever doomed to scrappy CSS.
Thank you for reading.
