It all started with a reply on 👇

Great initiative! Anyone else up for this challenge? twitter.com/DevCommunityIN…12:21 PM - 08 Aug 2020Dev Community INDIA @DevCommunityINHello Devs, We believe consistency and practice plays a important role in success. Hence We bring to you "The Weekly Steak Challenge"✨ So who all are excited for this challenge? https://t.co/zetH9skTFE
How you can start?
Rules are pretty simple.
Just start with what you want to learn or explore. I started it because I wanted to be consistent with my DEV work and explore new technologies.
What I got from 100DaysOfCode
I have done a lot in these 100 days.
- Learned a bit of Django and DRF(Django Rest Framework)
- Made some cool animation in Flutter
- Connected with a lot of cool people on Twitter
- Pushed my boundaries
It was such an amazing experience!
Problems that I faced
I can't work daily😩
The main problem which we all might face is we may get bored/tired and drop out of the challenge. In my opinion, just try and push yourself for a week or two then eventually you will develop a habit to work daily.
TBH, I was very greedy, but this greed helped me a lot. It helped to work even when I was feeling very sleepy - I would not recommend this to anyone, good sleep is necessary
I needed to push myself to work for an hour daily, eventually, it became a habit and now it is hard to break. Either I'm coding or I'm learning new concepts through articles, YouTube, or GitHub issues.
Can't find proper resources🤦♂️
Many may say it's just an excuse, but sometimes it is really hard to find something you were looking for. I had some difficulty in finding resources for DRF but this playlist from Semy Colon helped me a lot.

Final Thoughts
100DaysOfCode challenge could be a really good start to learn, explore, and if you are trying to be consistent. But don't just stop after 100 days. After you have achieved one goal, set another one for yourself. Just keep on trying out new things, just don't limit yourself.

Another thing I would like to ask is what do you do when you face really horrible bugs?I kind of lose motivation , would like to know your take on it!
Obviously, we all face such issues! I just try to find a solution for it. If this doesn't work then I just try to do the same thing in different say.
Congratulations!!!
