Hello there, and welcome to my blog!
I am an aspiring Software Engineer. I am coming from a non-traditional background, so this will be an interesting chapter of my life. There will be more details about why I am pursuing software engineering in a separate post.
What is the purpose of starting this blog on Medium? The primary focus of the blog will be about things I found interesting while I’m learning. It could be a dry explanation of an exercise problem… Or it might be a fun, overdramatic story. The options are vast.
While I have been learning, I wrote some notes and such on the side. It will be fun to share the stuff I’ve been learning. This inspiration stemmed from my past endeavors. I documented my journey with reflection of what I could improve on, but also what I did well too. This general “reflection time” was inspired by the Pokemon VGC content creator, Aaron “Cybertron” Zhang! This would be handy, and having a reason to write is nice to stretch my writing muscles.
Another question as well: Why not do a Youtube channel instead of writing? There are other YouTubers who would provide helpful information on programming. For me, the YouTube format wouldn’t fit what I want to do with this. The commitment needed for the whole video process is huge as well. I would not be satisfied if I had to pump out subpar videos that did not either contribute something meaningful or push my artistic skill sets. If I were to do something for YouTube in the future, it would not be programming-related. I want YouTube to be my avenue for different projects to experiment to itch my artistic side. :3
I am ecstatic to share my journey with all of y’all! It will be a tough experience, but I am looking forward to this current chapter of life. :D
