Day 79 - On not recognising yourself, and switching pace on Lifelog https://golifelog.com/posts/on-not-recognising-yourself-and-switching-up-pace-on-lifelog-1616231090096
Looking back, it’s sooo fucking amazing how far I gotten from so little that I knew back then. I knew almost zero Javascript, and only a splattering of Vue.js. But now, I feel like I can legitimately say I enjoy coding. Bugs and issues that used to make me want to rage quit are now pretty manageable, even palatable (because it helps me learn more). How far things have turned from the days I constantly clashed with coding, going through the motions of the work only because I wanted the outcome. That dissonance would have been unhealthy and simply unsustainable.
It’s almost like I stepped out of this phase a different person, unrecognisable to my past self. Isn’t that what they say about growth?
I can go with that.
