Early this year I made a decision to put most of my time and energy into becoming a world-class developer. Laid down a good plan - brush up on my python, learn javascript and CSS, register for internships, learn software design patterns, and how to solve and optimize codes.

A good plan that did not go exactly as I planned.

I was opportune to have my first internship with Zuri training where I could finally have a breakthrough from tutorials and build live projects. I worked as a backend developer and was tasked with building a DRF project and leading my team of developers in delivering a final project. Novice me with the intention of just writing the working APIs and deliver to my team then act as moral support and a good team lead but then-No my teammates started complaining about not having enough information about the API that documentation was needed.

This was my first touch on how important being able to write documentation or article on software or tool is important. At this point, I had to add learning how to write efficiently to my good plan.

My motivation for writing is to leave trailing documentation of the software and tools I use on my way to becoming a world-class developer.
