Reflecting on My Tech Journey
Looking back, I realize I’m much further along in my tech journey than I expected, especially when I compare where I was last year to where I am today. Last year, I was searching for jobs, trying to learn as much as possible, and struggling to bring the app ideas in my head to life. My final project for my cohort was nothing more than a concept I’d been sitting on the year before, but over the past six months, I turned it into a reality thanks to better access to resources, improved understanding of documentation, and the guidance of my mentors. Along the way, I’ve expanded my skill set by learning new frameworks and even picking up two additional programming languages beyond JavaScript and Python.
While I do feel some pressure to maintain my momentum, it’s entirely self-imposed rather than driven by external factors like industry trends. This internal drive stems from a desire to keep sharpening my programming skills and ensuring I continue to grow as a developer. Reflecting on how far I’ve come has shown me that progress takes time, but with consistent effort and support, it’s possible to achieve goals that once seemed out of reach.
