And thank you for posting this. You're officially the straw that broke the camels back. I've seen too many posts about the #100DaysOfCode challenge but haven't done anything about it. Time for me to take part 😊
I was the same. Let me know when you start and I'll be sure to egg you along, too.
Whelp here goes!

Good luck Ricky.
I tried this challenge the last year and it's difficult, although I didn't finish I learnt a lot about organizing my time, python and other stuff; I know that this will give you a lot of things. If you will write here about I'll attend the post.
Thank you! I'll definitely update my progress here.
Have fun!
I've tried doing it in the past, but since I write Javascript tests for 8+ hours a day, I'd end up not wanting to dive into anything different at night. Even just commiting to 30ish minutes a day of something codelike outside of work didn't work since that didn't feel like enough to make progress on anything. And then grad school started, so I had even more excuses and less time.
I'd like to try it again, but I don't think do x for y days works with me. Maybe work on z every week. That way I could cram it all on a Saturday and still feel accomplished despite playing Guild Wars 2 Sunday through Friday.
If I coded for a full day I doubt I'd take the challenge either. I wouldn't like need to, either. For me it's about getting some hours in towards my 10,000 hours of mastery.
The issue is that I don't feel married to software QA, so it would be nice to branch out and learn more than the Jasmine flavor of Javascript. So I love the idea of learning a skill over 100 days! Especially when at work it feels like there's no new challenge since I only need to know my little framework of one language, so it doesn't feel like 8 hours of progress towards anything skillful.
So I try to do all the things and then I get sleepy and it falls off pretty quick :P
"I get sleepy and it falls off pretty quick" -- I know how you feel 😂
A really good post!
I like it very much. You have made me want to do #100daysOfCode. I am looking forward to your posts. Thank you.
Good luck!
I like you write the plan, just like specification. I bet you will go far with project. I star your repo and hope to learn a few things along the way.
Thanks you. I hope to not disappoint.
Best of luck, Ricky! Does this challenge mean 100 consecutive days including weekends and holidays? I think having at least 1 rest day every week is necessary for staying fresh/avoiding burnout.
Usually it's 100 consecutive days.
Good luck!!!
Thank you, Ben 👍
Great decision! I did one iteration of #100daysofcode earlier this year (I finished in July) and it really boosted my confidence as a programmer and taught me a lot of good habits.
Best of luck :)
Thank you, Doaa. 😊
There are some courses aimed at the #100daysofcode challenge if you wish to use them. They are beginner focused though, normally. A lot also have their own plan for what to build/learn.
I need to do this challenge. the point 5 😂
