I've seen many posts on here telling everyone to write. Write something, get used to it, help to better foster communication skills.
So I have a question! If you were just at the starting of your development career, what is something you wish you would have talked about more? Was there something you wish you had a log of during your personal development? I'm looking for ideas of what I can write about, and more importantly, what would be interesting to read for others! Thank you to any responses.

About Me: I'm very new to programming and development, as I have less then 6 months experience with coding, however I have been studying very diligently during that time as I am out of a job with other issues. Before this, I got a degree in Illustration, so the design side of web development is not foreign to me. I'm looking to make a career change, and so far have gotten an interview that went well for an internship!

Hi Nina! This is a great post and something I consider all the time. I want to write more but sometimes I'm not sure where to begin. I don't think there is any limit to what you can write on here and as a beginner myself, I'm considering just writing about my ups and downs on this journey. Ideally I'd love to write a post someday like the ones you see exclaiming about landing "that job". I love those kinds of posts as they always give me motivation.
I'm sorry to hear about your job situation. I can't wait to read more from you and see where all of this takes you! <3
Hey there Natalie! I hope I get to write a landing the job post too, someday! Those motivate me as well. I was reading your post about bootcamps and looked into some near me, which is turns out are none! But it was still an interesting thought to look into, glad you wrote it.
Oh my, I'm sorry to hear there aren't any near you! I guess I can count myself lucky for that. I forget if I put it in my post but the funny thing is the bootcamp closer to me is less convenient that the bootcamp 2 hours away from me.
You’re probably learning a lot of new things right now. Whatever you’re working with, if it strikes you as interesting, or hard, or maybe a bit tricky, see if you can formulate that learning into an article.
Doing the extra work of organizing your thoughts, preparing code samples, etc will really help to cement the knowledge in your mind. It’s also something you can refer to later on for your own use!
Best of luck with everything!!
Thanks! It's been awhile since I've taken good notes, I should get back into it to prepare posts! That's a good idea.
