When I started my journey as a JavaScript developer, the concept of "full-stack development" truly fascinated me. Full-stack development means having the ability to create entire applications, both front-end and back-end, from scratch. It was exciting to sketch something on paper and then bring it to life as a functioning app. However, every new journey comes with its challenges.

Here’s what learning to code looked like for me:

• The Overwhelm: Initially, everything seems too complex, making you think, "I will never get this."
• The Empowerment: Once you grasp the basics, you feel unstoppable, ready to create anything.
• The Humbling: As you dive deeper, you realize just how vast the field is... Yes, there’s always more to learn.

Realizing what you don’t know is the first step towards growing. I'm a huge believer in learning — a little every day. I can assure you that this adds up, very quickly. Understanding the basics, or even just reading briefly about something, can give you an edge later on when solving problems, as you’ll already have some pieces of the puzzle.

I invite you to join me on this learning journey. Each day, I’ll share a new concept, technique, or idea that I’ve been using or researching. This way, we will build a foundation, knowing such possibilities exist, and gradually become better at what we do.
