Thank you Daniel! I am currently learning to code to build a product and your story is so inspiring and helpful.

🙈I took out time and read through other of your articles and they're so relatable

And your product is amazing.

Edit: products are amazing.

reading this article while going through a roller coaster of emotions that come with learning js is truly inspiring. for context, I started learning js last month, but it's been both fun & not so easy.

so this was truly an encouraging read & thank you for sharing.

No problem Pearl! Hopefully it’ll help you to know what to expect. The most important thing to know is you WILL get there and you ARE becoming a better developer with every bug that you solve.

Such a great read with excellent side-projects and SaaS too! I revamped my Github profile with ProfileMe.dev. Excellent stuff you're doing Daniel. Keep up the great work.

I only wish you had a read on "how to come up with brilliant ideas for a SaaS" 🤣

Hey Daniel! Loved the blog post, especially point 8 I love building tutorial projects before applying new tech in my stack. Though, to help I have started to start documenting blog posts associated so I remember the logic and can quickly teach myself!

Side note: On point 5, would it be helpful if you could quickly pay an expert to help go through your code and fix your bug for you while explaining why it's broken?

You are an awesome writer, i did read to the end.

I started my journey as a software engineer 4 months ago and I’m sure lessons I learnt from this article would come in handy.
