Hey! 👋
I believe as you are reading this interesting blog, you are either in tech or have an interest in the same.
Goal setting and accountability are the two things that have prompted me to give some notes on this tech (technology) journey.
I gained interest in tech way back in 2009. I used to visit my cousin who had a play PlayStation Two (PS2). We played all kinds of games (violent games like GTA5). So I wanted to know more about how the games come to life before knowing how to create one. You have to know about a computer and all that is related. I never knew how to use one leave alone owning one. I went to this guy and asked if he could teach me how to type on a computer, he was a geek already. I remember the question he asked me, "Have you mastered Swahili?" He wanted to know if I scored 100% the previous term. This hindered me but it was the start of a tech journey.
I am guessing you know what happened next! 😂. I started learning how to use the computer later on at campus and I got a good friend, Simon, who introduced me to a beginner boot camp using HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and Python. I struggled to grasp the content and focused on being a full-stack software engineer.
I am currently doing a boot camp with KanzuCode Foundation Backend track. Thanks to the scholarship I got from Peter a senior Software Engineer. I have learned the art of following. You have to learn to become. The fastest way to go up is copy-paste. looking at the cars, whether Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, BMW, Honda, and others. They copy from each other. When they introduced the button to open/close the widow. Everyone stopped making cars that have the manual window crank.
In five years, If I diligently continue copying, learning, and innovating. I would have developed cutting-edge tools, leveraging AI, and data science. I will be a consultant and mentor to many other developers who will have results to show not reasons to give.
This is the WHY, the reason I am part of this Backend Bootcamp💪.
It is never too late to start, life long learning has unopposed benefits. Where will you be in five years?
