Coding everyday is !important because it builds momentum.
My initial plan was just to at least try for 100 days. The end result was much better than I image. Now I’m confident that I can learn any technology + language.
Congratulations on getting your first developer job offer! It sounds like you’ve put in some serious time, and built a lot of additional projects for practice.
Thanks for documenting all of this for our benefit.
Congratulations and thanks for sharing your accomplishments. It is a huge motivation for aspiring developers. Can you please write a medium post describing your journey? It will be amazing, I guess. Wish you all the best!
I am seriously impressed and motivated to do this now. I am presently doing the wiki viewer project, and will soon get my front end certificate. Thank you and congratulations.
