Programming is a beautiful thing, I love to learn and to use my knowledge to build new things daily, the greatest thing and also my biggest challenge is how much there is in the area to learn. Lots of programming languages, concepts related to each area that goes from shallow to deep… and sometimes I feel overwhelmed by how much it is.

I don’t know enough

It is one of the thoughts that cross my mind whenever I try to start a new project or apply, although it is true. I will never know all the things to make the programs I want to build without any blockage. I will need to look into documentation, search for example, test, try… it is a natural part of programming that will create some anxiety and stress, more or less depending on the people, but the best thing we can do is to channel it to other things, relax or change our focus for a bit, the situations tend to flow better when we aren’t stressed or focused in them.

I am grateful

I am grateful to be in this area, to have chosen this beautiful path where I know I will not know everything, that I will be less skilled than some teen with 15 years old that started studying since the 8 years old. It shows me that I can be in peace in the unknown, to practice to be calm in stressful situations, to connect with people because of a passion in common. I wouldn’t have all that if it wasn’t for this area and for that, I am grateful.
