2 π"Oooo....how does a Microsoft Surface Pro even work? What's this flappy thing at the back?"
3 "Hello Microsoft Windows, haven't used you in a while!...Windows Update!!! π"
4 "π€ C# is so cool!!!! I finally get to use a static programming language!"
*Goes to build solution = ERROR ; expected
AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! πΏ
5 "Let's get this code out! Deployment, what can possibly go wrong with the build and deployment pipeline? π"
Deployment fails....arghhhhhh!!!!! π‘
Goes into ultra mode to fix issue πͺ
Deployment passed - yipppeeee!!! π
6 "It works, it actually works!!! Oh yeah!! Ice cream time!" π¦ππΌπ
7 "I can figure this out....I can figure this out...should I ask for help? π€Nah, I can figure this out...I can figure this out....oh man....I NEEEDDD HELP!!! SOMEONE HELP!!"
8 "How have I not used Visual Studio IDE before? It's A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!" π»
9 "Am I meant to be here? I don't have a clue what's going on. Damn...I'm actually writing code!" π
10 "Wow, I've learnt so much! How did all of this happen?" π

Congrats on the new role! I can totally relate to number 9. Iβve been writing code for a while now and I still have days where I think βI donβt have a clue whatβs going onβ. On others days though, itβs just the opposite and iβm an unstoppable code ninja and everything compiles first time. Just keep your enthusiasm and youβll do great!
Thanks Grant - I had one of those days today where everything just came into place with the unit and integration tests :) Totally worth it though :)
It's so inspiring to witness the excitement of creating something π
Something that works, that is π€£
Thank you - Glad my excitement came across :)
good for you! congratulations π
Thanks Rene :)
The first week of many to come. Looks like you'll do well.
Thank you :) Lots of weeks to come! :) Hopefully, I'll keep staying excited throughout. I'll have to come back to this to remind myself :)

I take it your first job is going well?
Yes it is :) Iβm learning a lot and getting stuck in :)
Glad to see another C# lover. Maybe can we see a post on what you like more (or you discover) about VS, C#, and .Net?
Hey Oscar :) Great suggestion! Would be a pleasure to do more technical posts next time
