Becoming 1% better each day.

I am starting my learning journey today and planning to document my learnings as daily dev.to posts for my own revision and for sticking to the practice of learning.

Why am I doing this?

I am a below average developer and I want to change that. So my goal is to learn and practice Frontend Development in depth to become a better software engineer than I am today.✨

How do I do this?

I don't have a roadmap as such. I used to plan a lot only to never follow it for straight 2 days and not following it threw me into an endless loop of planning and failing and planing again only to fail again.

So, TBH this is my hail mary strategy and I plan to learn and/or code each day and document my learnings here as daily posts to keep myself accountable. It feels good writing down my thoughts so might as well do the same to jot down what I learned each day, hoping this would motivate me to learn each day as I do enjoy writing. Plus, it is believed that if you can explain the concepts to another person or in a blog post, it means you have understood the topic well. So in that sense, explaining about what i learned in my own words would concrete my learnings too.

What am I learning?

I am a frontend Developer. So focus would be that and some DSA. Plan is to focus on one thing at a time, which I feel is what suits me. This might change along the way but for now I am sticking to 1 thing at a time.

How long am I doing this for?

I am targeting for 100 days of continuous learning.

Let's see how this goes. cheers!✨
