Hey Em! I follow you on Twitter so when you popped up on Dev I thought I'd give this article a lil read.
I loved reading this, especially as a gal who also went to Uni of Leeds (studied History though, nothing tech-y - just finished a coding bootcamp in Leeds!).
I wish I'd had your kind of initiative in carving out that tech path for yourself - my school and teachers knew I had a knack for tech, but also for History, and I was never told that I could be interested in and pursue two things. Really admire you for that! But especially that you did tech stuff AND made it "feminine" with all that 1D. Love it.
Also love the honesty in this about how different people learn at different speeds. More people need to be honest like this and recognise that that's normal, and that one is not necessarily better than the other. Slow and steady, amirite?
Hey Stephanie 😀 Firstly, thanks so much for taking the time to read my blog post! And secondly thanks for such lovely feedback ❤️ And yes, you're so right! When people panic and try to speedily learn things, that's when stuff gets missed and more often than not you have to go back and revisit the basics again
