I'm a Web developer

Hello, my name is Bettina and i'm 27 years old. I live in Sweden 🇸🇪 but i'm born in Hungary 🇭🇺.

I'm currently studying web development focusing e-commerce. I've done it for a year now and i have one year left in school. I have not had my internship yet.

The languages i'm learning:

HTML

CSS

JavaScript, React.js, Node.js, expess.js,

MySQL, PHP.

I've even experience UX-design, web design, digital marketing, SEO and entrepreneurship. And i love talking about problem solving and accessibility 🪄🪲

Currently i'm developing wordpress with PHP, HTML and hierarchical CSS.

So, if you are into this stuff, especially wordpress and php, talk nerdy stuff with me! I would be so happy if i had more connections with people who are into this stuff, especially women. 🌸

It is not done yet, i will update it soon 🫣🐢

Why doesn't anyone want to just help me? Everyone wants to pass me around like a hot potato. I'm tired of hearing I need a higher level of care. Just freaking use whatever it is you learned from your degree and give me something that can help. I don't want to be told to do iop, php, inpatient, or whatever every time I can't keep it together. I feel like I'm just a problem in people's lives.

[trans-axolotl]

hi! i'm 15, and currently in a PHP program for my mental health. I'm scared as fuck because my new therapist is telling me I may need antipsychotics and made me do a dissociation questionaire and was like "wow you scored real high on this" and psychosis has always been that thing I can't have because I'm not /that/ mentally fucked right?

so your post about psychosis and schizophrenia was really helpful! thank you!!

💜💜💜💜

I'm glad my post was helpful! I can definitely understand how it could feel overwhelming to learn that you might be getting a new diagnosis and getting put on new medications, especially if it's in a context where people might be talking about those experiences using more stigmatizing or negative or clinical language that feels scary. but know that there are people experiencing psychosis/altered states of all kinds that are still living the lives they want , and that psychosis is not always the "worst case scenario." there's a lot of resources out there and a lot of people living with psychosis who we still build valuable and meaningful lives and adapt and cope with the particular ways our distress and pain shows up in our lives.

truly wishing you the best, anon, and feel free to reach out if you end up wanting some more resources about living with and coping with psychosis that aren't just talking about it in a pathologizing way!

I just

I finished it!!!

I finished building the entire website. 62 hours of work in 5 days, but I did it. And I'm grudgingly embracing Elementor Pro, since the DOTU website's last major update took me a full month of coding and CSS wrangling and Lynda tutorials and fumbling my way through php since I'm not an actual programmer.

It's also screen reader friendly (I learned to use Mac's built-in voiceover for this), and the episodes have full alt text and expandable transcripts! More on that later...

The episode thumbnails are all placeholders, since I only have the first episode actually "done," and the rest are at various stages of inking or finished pencils. I also ran out of promo art since I've been focusing on pages, so I may swap out images later on. But the actual physical website is fully put together and functional.

I'm not sure when I'll delete all the dummy posts and migrate it from the local development server to the live site. I mean, probably soon, but I need a break. I did this immediately after June's Patreon rewards, so it was an 80-hour stretch without a day off. My brain goes into a very different mode when I do tech stuff, and time ceases to exist, haha.

So yeah, gonna take several days off if I can. I've been living on protein smoothies for a week and I need groceries.

[izicodes]

do you have any advice for someone who kinda "failed" to break into tech and is still in the medium-level for learning. i feel like i've spent so much time (years) on this but haven't made much progress. how do i really get into it and stay in it? love your blog btw. i'm tempted to start one of my own but my projects are a mess and ugly 😭

I'm sorry to hear that you feel like you haven't made much progress in breaking into tech. It's important to remember that everyone's journey is different, and it's never too late to start or improve. But then again, you have spent years learning and you want to into the tech industry.

The obvious advice would be don't give up. My dad has been studying to get into Cybersecurity since the early 90s and he just got into the industry this year. He never gave up - family to look after and he could study like the other students in his university course because the large majority of them were single 18-22-year-olds who their only responsibility is themselves. Don't give up and don't compare yourself to other people.

You've got to look at what has been holding you back. Health issues, work issues, money? Can't study full-time or even part-time if you need to pay the bills.

Even if you can, are you consistent with your studying? We all know consistency is key. Studying for one week but don't study for 2-3 weeks won't work. I know the type of learner I am - if I don't code or study every day, even just for 30 minutes, then my tendency to procrastinate will increase a lot and it'll all go downhill from there.

Know your strength - build on the skills you are good at. Believe it or not, I know a developer I met in a discord server who only uses HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build websites and webpage themes for clients as a freelancer and he's doing really well. It's because he realised that he's really good at those three basic languages and he worked really hard to excel at them. Expand on what you know best.

On the flip side, you could look at job postings around where you live or nationally in your country and see what skills/languages/technologies they ask for the most for hiring developers. Example: I live in the UK and a couple of months ago when I was actively looking for a new Frontend Dev job, I saw that Vue.js, React.js, and PHP (besides the usual HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) were asked for the most. If I wanted those jobs, I would learn those technologies, create a few projects to showcase my knowledge in them, and start applying. That could be one way to break into the industry.

Another way would be certificated. Bootcamps, online courses, or in-person courses like university or community colleges. Yes, they say that you don't always need a university degree to get into tech but some kind of education you've gone through that is tech-related e.g. Google courses or the Frontend Dev course that Meta is providing (paid). My colleague completed a computer science degree but he then did a bootcamp and he completed and that's how he landed the job where I work. So even graduates are getting further education. If you can't afford the massive fees, Udemy is a great place to get courses. And don't be shy with the Havard CS50 course videos they have on YouTube - free and you get a certificate free as well!

The advice I give might not work if you haven't identified why after all these years you haven't gotten your foot into the tech industry. This is no way intended to be rude, but if another person who had the same amount of time you studied, and they have gotten a tech job in that time, what makes you different? Goes back to what I said about the things that are holding you back. Some of the reasons are inevitable like health but you need to keep making that effort!

If you need help, you need to ask. Find a mentor or support group. Having someone to guide and encourage you can be incredibly helpful. Look for a mentor or join a support group where you can connect with others who are also learning and growing in tech. You can search for them online, some people offer advice for CV/Resume help or real "getting into tech" advice on places like Fiverr or Upwork or just google for some consultants online. They would cost obviously but if you're really struggling, this might help. After completing bootcamps, they tend to help you get your first job etc so they might be worth considering!

The last bit of advice is do you have a portfolio? No no, like a proper one where you feel confident enough to give to family members, friends, and potential employers? No? Either learn to build one (free of charge) or hire someone to build it for you (costs money) A portfolio is a great way to showcase your skills and projects to potential employers. Even if your projects feel messy or ugly, focus on highlighting what you learned and what you accomplished.

Obviously, I gave hints of advice more towards Frontend Dev because that's what I know more of but you can alter the advice to whatever niche in programming you're into. Remember, breaking into any field takes time and effort. Stay motivated and focused on your goals, and don't be afraid to reach out for help or support when you need it. Good luck!

** I'm not the best at giving advice but I hope this helps 💗

Holiday Break Productivity

As a lady born in the year of the "Horse" 🐎, it is a natural characteristic of ours to always do something productive, even during breaks. This holiday break should have been a rest or game day for me, but instead I practiced my drawing skill and continued reading "Ikigai," which I hadn't opened in weeks.

I've been practicing different "emotions or feelings" in chibi, as I haven't drawn chibis in a while.

I used to sketch "anime" rather than chibis or illustration back in elementary because I was a big fan of ✨ 90s anime ✨ like Fushigi Yuugi, Ghost Fighter, Ranma 1/2, Flame of Recca, Hell Teacher Nūbē, Oh my Goddess!, Sakura CardCaptor, Boys Be, Gatekeepers, Slam Dunk, HunterxHunter, Sailor Moon, and many more.

Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of my sketches today because I used to draw on notebooks or pad papers - I remember back in primary school, my classmates would pay me PHP 5.00 - 20.00 💰💰💰 (yup! business-minded since I was a kid 🤣) to draw their favorite anime which technically honed my skill in creating anime art and marketing/sales, but as I grew older, I outgrown drawing animes and now I prefer to draw still life or illustrations/chibis since I love anything kawaii and sketching beautiful landscape or places.

Book Review: Ikigai (Chapter 1 to 3)

I promised myself to finish this book by May 🎯; please don't get me wrong, on why I'm still not done reading this book its because I didn't have a time for reading this past few weeks due to my workload (my job), but this holiday I made sure to allocate 3-4 hours just to read this book and discovered that...

Ikigai is one of my favorite book out of my 7 new self-development books and I am now currently on Chapter 4: How to turn work and free time into space of growth - very timely to what I need nowadays, isn't it? 😀

To give you an idea why I love this book so far, one of the reason is that it tackles on how we determine our life's purpose and reasons to live more, like the centenarians in Okinawa, Japan. It also emphasize the importance of maintaining physical health by staying active even after we reach the age of 60, since sedentary lifestyle can lead to hypertension, imbalanced diet, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and even some cancers. Sleep plays an important role in how we can slow the aging process and build our immune system because "melatonin" is a powerful antioxidant in our bodies that contains an ingredient that protects us from cancer, Alzheimer's disease, aging, and other diseases.

This book also discussed "Logotherapy," a therapy developed by Victor Frankl that focuses on people's search for meaning in life. Unlike other therapies, logotherapy takes a spiritual approach. Frankl's logotherapy incorporates three philosophical and psychological concepts: freedom of will, will to meaning, and meaning in life.

Freedom of will asserts that we have the ability to chose and take action in response to both internal and external circumstances.

Will to meaning states that we have the freedom to follow our goal and purposes in life, which means this is our major motive for existing and doing, allowing us to bear pain and suffering.

Meaning in life is a subjective experience, but the meanings exist within us and waiting to be realized by us in any moment or in any situation.

One of the therapies that this book also tackles is the "Morita Therapy," a therapy based on the Buddhist perspective and developed by Dr. Shoma Morita, wherein the therapy focuses more on accepting the fluctuations of thoughts and feelings, embracing negative emotions, and learning how to blend with nature - if you ask me, it is quite similar to what we've learned from Grandmaster Lao Tzu (Taoism) which is

"Go with the flow, Be like water 🌊"

Sounds very profound, isn't it? 🤔 The first time I heard that, I was perplexed: how and why be like water? Then our Grandmaster taught us the value of being fluid, soft, and flexible in any situation, just like water, which takes shape wherever you put it and can adjust to any environmental changes.

Change is inevitable and if you resist it, problems will arise in your life and that's why our ancient philosophers taught us the importance of adaptability, because change is constant and not fixed; our lives are the result of constant change in our environment, feelings, emotions, interpersonal relationships, religion, and so on, and those who adapt easily win life, whereas others rot in the past, are unable to move on with their lives, and are depressed.

Like "Morita Therapy," embrace the imperfections in your life, welcome them with open arms, and acknowledge that the sentiments or emotions you're experiencing are valid. Simply accept how things are and then figure out how to mend them or overcome your own demons.

I'm about halfway through the book, but I'm looking forward to get more insights and teachings from Ikigai.

I definitely suggest this book to everyone who has ever felt empty on the inside, unable to discover their purpose in life, or simply lost.

Sincerely, Ayei 🌻

[whsprings]

feeling urgey and full of despair. I want to be free of my ed and this place but I am unwilling to try to do things differently. I had rounds this morning where I asked to be back on phase 2 and was denied by my therapist because of continued behavior use. my step down to php is in two weeks and I haven't done any passes or outings, and I've only done two phase 2 groups. it just doesn't make sense to let me free into the wild when im also still not trusted to go on a pass. we've also gotten seven new people this week (!) and I have by far been phase 1 the longest and it makes me feel like living garabge that's simply incapable of change. I also learned of a way to check my weight and I am so fucking tempted to look even though I know it won't be helpful and will likely set me back even further. I am essentially trying to become a functional human through sheer willpower and it isn't exactly working. that being said, therapy feels like a waste of time because i feel like my therapist's methods for addressing my behaviors/goals isn't resonating. not sure where to go from here tbh.

[rudjedet]

the "useless degree" anon here. thanks a lot for your reply and sharing your thoughts!

yeah, capitalism makes it all so difficult. i want to keep on studying philosophy but i am also considering learning how code so that maybe i can get a job that would support me financially while studying philosophy.

however, everyone tells me that doing so would be half-assing two things instead of doing one thing well and i should just pick one and learn and do that.

and while i understand that these people might be right and that they have good intentions, it sometimes feels like some people just don't want philosophy or subjects like it to be learned at all.

They may have good intentions, but they're not right. I say this as someone who actually tried to go into programming (I did actually also complete a JAVA development mini-degree now that I think about it) after Egyptology, which I certainly didn't fucking half-ass. Now I personally never got anywhere with programming partly because I'm a woman and blonde and this means that even on a good day people subconsciously underestimate the fuck out of me (I'm sure some of you remember the IT job I had for like all of 5 months), but JAVA itself also didn't turn out to be my jam; I might have enjoyed programming more had I gone for e.g. PHP.

That said, 80% of people in programming are half-assing it. Self-taught guys with not a lick of actual experience landed jobs that I, again with mini-degree in hand, wasn't even considered for even though the course I followed basically gave me a year's worth of work experience. I've seen code that made me go "what the actual fuck" in live programs and apps. So the "don't half-ass two things" is a bit of a moot point, because our society isn't the meritocracy people want to believe it is, anyway.

If you like programming, you should definitely consider it. Just be aware, insofar you aren't already, programming jobs tend to prefer fulltime workers. So it might be difficult to combine with doing your degree from a purely practical perspective.

But you're right, otherwise. Society at large just really struggles to see the value in humanities or social science fields. We're the first ones whose funding gets slashed, whose departments get dissolved when cost need to be cut, etc.

SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME-

I know it’s been a very long while since our last episode, but after dealing with other projects, along with real life getting in the way from time to time, we’re finally continuing our next part of the second road trip across the Maasrichtian. While it only has 5 segments like the last episode, and does borrow some of last season’s “Freshwater” thunder quite a bit, I still had a good time with Swamps. And the segments presented here do bring a few things to the table for PHP in general. You’ll see what I mean when we get into them.

Snacks on the wing

The episode starts with the wetlands of Asia, where baby azhdarchid pterosaurs are attempting to fly for the first time. Keeping up with this show’s record of baby animals meeting their end, the pterosaurs have to deal with the threat of getting eaten by a horde of Shamosuchus. Unlike the Simosuchus from earlier in the season, these relatives to today’s crocodiles and alligators comfort more to the shape that we’re used to seeing these reptiles in. While I don’t have much to say about this segment, I find it cool how it draws comparisons with how Freshwater crocodiles hunt flying foxes in Australia. Even when millions of years apart, some hunting strategies are just that good.

Gone fishin’

The episode then cuts to the forests of South America, where the focus is on a truly unique animal; Austroraptor. For those not aware, this was a species of raptor dinosaur that was not only huge for its family (Think 20 feet long), it also lived a life of hunting fish. These of these guys like what would happen if a grizzly bear and a heron had a baby together. The plot of this segment shows a young male trying to score some lunch of his own. Many of the larger adults can only only catch garfish like it’s not their problem (which is something that our male is new to), but they can be aggressive, often attacking each other if one of them disrupts the other’s hunt. Until he learns how to catch prey successfully, the best option that the main male has to take is to snatch someone else’s prey, and try not to lose at least a few feathers in the process.

“Hippity hoppity, get off my property”

We then cut back to Madagascar to see the return of another Season 1 veteran. Y’all must’ve loved Beelzebufo so much, you all wanted to see more of the bay dinosaur-eating frog (And I really wouldn’t blame any of y’all). And fortunately, Apple heard everyone’s pleas for the devil toad to return, so here we are! The segment has a male Beelzebufo trying to find a good place to attract a mate. Unfortunately for the frog, a herd of Rapetosaurus just happened to come back and waddle in the mud, making things even harder for the Beelzebufo. That must be frustrating.

The Beelzebufo then has to find a new place to set up his courtship display, away from the titanosaurs. After a bit of hopping around, and even doing this…

Keep on rollin’

Our champ eventually finds a good enough spot to try again, with the Rapetosaurus herd moving on. They even leave footprints in the mud that get filled with water. The only complaint that I have for this scene is the lack of the Beelzebufo raising his eventual tadpoles. The concept art for the devil toad that was made by Gaëlle Seguillon refers to it as “Beelzebufo adult”, so it could be possible that devil tadpoles were considered to be in the show. Either that, or we could see another Beelzebufo-themed segment in a possible Season 3, taking alot of inspiration from how African bullfrog males raise their young. I may or may not be planning to add that to my hypothetical Season 3 idea, so keep your eyes peeled.

Head Games

Despite the episode literally being called “Swamps”, we cut to a dusty plain in North America, where the area in question used to be a swamp that eventually dried up. It’s here where we see the second pachycephalosaur of the series in the form of Pachycephalosaurus itself. It’s no secret that the domed heads of these creatures were used for some sort of territorial display, so we see an older male fighting a younger and rowdy male, who has been causing trouble for the herd. After a long and hard duel, the old male is knocked down, and his younger rival bellows out in victory. This turns out to be a bad idea, as it gives the old male time to get back up and strike down his rival. With the battle lost, the young male is then exiled from the herd, where he has to fend for himself. I’m not gonna lie, he’s gonna need everything in his kit to survive. Y’know why?

In the night, no one can hear you roar

The last segment of the episode shows us how basically terrifying T. Rex can be when hunting. After the last season shows how these giant predators can be doting parents or a loving couple, this segment serves as a reminder that this is still Tyrannosaurus Rex that we’re talking about. When night falls on the floodplains of Hell Creek, a couple of T. Rex brothers stalk around the forest, spying on a group of Edmontosaurus. The two split up, with one of them stepping on a fallen branch, intentionally causing the herd to get nervous. Thanks to their padded feet muffling any heavy footsteps that could be heard, along with their extremely good night vision, the predators spring into action. While one of them lunges for an Edmontosaurus, the latter is sent towards the other T. Rex. With both of them clamping their bone-crushing jaws into their hapless prey, the hunt is soon over, and the two get to enjoy their hard-earned meal. A funny thing to mention is how neither of the T. Rex crashed into the opening, roaring as they charged towards their prey. Large predators cannot afford to waste precious energy by running out and screaming like a mad man, so they need to be careful, often turning to ambush tactics to catch prey. If anything, this instance of averting usual pop-culture depictions of dinosaurs serves to make these beasts scarier than they already were. Unlike the mindless, perpetually roaring and shrinking movie monster that shakes the ground itself with every step, you’d never see or hear the real thing coming, until it’s too late…

This takes the phrase “Bonehead” to a new level

The Uncovered segment of the episode takes a closer look at how pachycephalosaurs like Pachycephalosaurus used their domed heads in fighting. I don’t have alot to say about this part, but I can say that headaches must be a major pain when it comes to these guys.

And with that, we only have 2 episodes left. I apologize for pumping this review out late into the month. Being busy with other projects, along with dealing with real life stuff and being a lazy ass from time to time can do that to you. Nonetheless, the next review on our list covers one of my favorite episodes in the entire series so far, so that’ll be fun when we get to it. Get ready to “dive” in again next time, because we’re gonna be soaking up the thirst of the land.

…I hope you laughed at that joke.

Suicidal Fight or Flight

🗝️🏷️ suicide, child abuse, general abuse

We’ve been in some form of therapy for about 4 years now, and it took a lot of searching to find a therapist who believed a word out of our mouth. One was particularly cagey about suicidality.

This guy, who worked in an IOP/PHP for minors, didn’t think kids could be suicidal. It took months out of our recovery for that attempt.

We had been a threat to our own safety for as long as we could remember. The alter out for it had little memory of past incidents, including the one we were there for, and it screwed up our mannerisms so much that the staff were convinced we had either lied or miraculously gotten better. They’ve split since then, but that alter’s name was Happy, and the point of their existence was to look content.

We had no meaningful communication at that point, and it buried some of our trauma holders pretty deep. We’ve made leaps and bounds since then, but it took that long to come to a ceasefire.

Our system has a lot of suicidal alters. A good portion are omega programmed, though another set came to those beliefs on their own. For them, the only escape was death. Some even have younger parts who wanted to run away, but most of them learned early on that wasn’t an option.

These alters were our fighters, some of them high up in their internal hierarchies. They remember large segments of trauma, have subsystems layered into them, and were responsible for what no one else could handle. There are divisions in ideologies even among them, but all sincerely thought that the choice to live or die was the last they had left, and still many considered it only a difference of torturous vs painful death.

Some of them were the first to start rebuilding when we realized there was an out. They picked up the dust our perps had made of us and turned it beautiful, lit fires of hope where they had none. They aren’t out as much anymore, never for their intended purposes, but we try to give them space to make the memories they couldn’t before.

It’s been slow as fuck, and the external decision that we could not die is still largely unappreciated. But we’re moving now, and their fight is coming back in waves. It never was about giving up, or even running away. They’re fighters, the lot of them, and their suicidality kept us alive.

Mastering Web Development: A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners

In the vast landscape of technology, web development stands as a crucial cornerstone. It encompasses the art and science of building websites, ranging from simple static pages to complex web applications. Whether you're aiming to pursue a career in software development or seeking to enhance your digital presence, understanding web development is essential.

In this comprehensive guide, we'll take you through the fundamental concepts and practical skills needed to master web development from scratch. Let's dive in!

1. Understanding HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)

HTML serves as the backbone of every web page, providing the structure and content. It uses tags to define different elements such as headings, paragraphs, images, and links. By mastering HTML, you'll be able to create well-structured and semantically meaningful web documents.

2. Exploring CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)

CSS is the language used to style HTML elements, enhancing their appearance and layout. With CSS, you can customize colors, fonts, spacing, and more, giving your website a polished and professional look. Understanding CSS selectors and properties is essential for effective styling.

3. Introduction to JavaScript

JavaScript is a versatile programming language that adds interactivity and dynamic behavior to web pages. From simple animations to complex web applications, JavaScript powers a wide range of functionalities. Learning JavaScript fundamentals such as variables, functions, and events is crucial for web development.

4. Building Responsive Websites

In today's mobile-centric world, it's essential to create websites that adapt seamlessly to various screen sizes and devices. Responsive web design achieves this by using fluid grids, flexible images, and media queries. Mastering responsive design principles ensures that your websites look great on desktops, tablets, and smartphones.

5. Introduction to Version Control with Git

Git is a powerful tool for tracking changes in your codebase and collaborating with other developers. By learning Git basics such as branching, merging, and committing, you can streamline your development workflow and effectively manage project versions.

6. Introduction to Front-End Frameworks

Front-end frameworks like Bootstrap, Foundation, and Materialise provide pre-designed components and stylesheets to expedite web development. By leveraging these frameworks, you can create responsive and visually appealing websites with less effort and code.

7. Introduction to Back-End Development

While front-end development focuses on the user interface, back-end development deals with server-side logic and database management. Learning back-end languages such as Node.js, Python, or PHP enables you to build dynamic web applications and handle user interactions efficiently.

8. Deploying Your Website

Once you've developed your website, it's time to make it accessible to the world. Deploying a website involves selecting a web hosting provider, uploading your files, and configuring domain settings. Understanding the deployment process ensures that your website goes live smoothly.

Trusting my persistence is my only solution

(12/02/2023)

Hi everyone, I'm back.

How are you? I hope well.

During these days that I stopped posting I continued studying, in this case I went to php but now I'm starting ruby.

Python is still the language I most want to learn (still obsessed with being able to play my snake game by myself) but in addition to not having many openings in my country and the market is unstable both here and abroad, I decided to go for ruby.

I already wanted to learn ruby ​​because I saw that AO3 uses it and I wanted to contribute to the project, but I always left it to 7 flat.

(Yes, I'm a fanfiquere and I love the writers I met and know there, better than a lot of streaming and for free)

Now talking more about the title of the post and why I was missing.

This mass of layoffs shook my emotions a lot, here in Brazil we are also having it, not in the same number/companies but it is still so bad since there are a lot of people looking for a job and little offer.

I even thought about giving up and going to another area (I saw that some people here in Brazil are already doing that).

But now a little better mentally I decided not to give up, I'm going to do my best and see what works.

The reality is what the layoffs showed me is that there will never be stability in private companies and that it will always be a sea of ​​uncertainty.

And it's okay, there's nothing like me and if you're going through this, you can also do it but make an effort and always have strategies and financial education for when the worst happens.

And due to anxiety and sometimes depression, I've paralyzed a lot thinking about the uncertainties, but it hurts me more than it helps.

So now my dilemma is "I'm going to try it with fear and we'll see what happens" Literally trusting that my persistence will bring me results will be the only thing I will think about.

I hope that in December 2023 my version of the future will be more fulfilled/happy and I hope to read this in the future with the feeling that I have overcome a barrier.

About coding, I will post my routine daily and I plan to share some sites and maybe do some challenges right?

I hope you who are reading this are doing well and if you are not, may you get well soon.

Have a great Sunday and week, drink water and if you're anxious, don't freak out about the future, breathe and live in the present.
