This is definitely one of the most simplified articles I've read in a while. Not just did I learn an entirely new thing, I'm following your thought process too to write simply. Welldone Cynthia 👍🏼

Congratulation Ruth. More more to come. I'm so proud of you

Well captured. Learning in public is essential to everyone.

I'm rooting for you Ruthie. Glad to know you're doing much better.

If it were not for Hashnode, I wouldn't have owned a personal blog already. I love the community built around the product, and the product itself is built with so much user empathy. What's not to love about Hashnode?

A few years from now, you'll look back at this and be thankful you never gave up. All you've mentioned are real struggles especially for junior devs and newbies. Keep moving and finding ways to overcome. All the best!

The pandemic hit hard, but apparently it has become a blessing in disguise to people who allowed it to happen "for" them and not "to" them. I wish you all the best in your design career, and would be glad to read more from you going forward.

Hi Daniela, you're an amazing writer (I really hope you know this). You maintain a great flow with words. I wish you success in getting a laptop. I'd suggest you follow Hacksultan on twitter, whispers - I hear he does laptop giveaways sometimes. Also watch out for the next Laptop for developers cohort, you might get lucky. In all, don't let this zeal die. Keep following up with design concepts, and grab the few you can theoretically pending when you get a PC. All the best 😍

This is the most well-detailed and beginner friendly article I've ever read on Dev Advocacy. It's a field I'm actually looking to get in, as I have quite a number of the skills required, but one - Years of technical experience. This is something I'm currently working on. But I'd also want to know how possible it is for a junior developer to land a dev advocacy role. Does this happen quite often, or rarely? Is this a role reserved for mainly senior engineers? Thank you.

Cheers to a year well spent, lessons learnt and a remarkable new year 🥂
