Deciding to participate in the 100 Days of Code Challenge was one of the best decisions I’ve made this year. This challenge was created by Alex Kallaway, and the premise is simple. Dedicate at least one hour a day to coding. Document that study ti...

This is just an amazing post. I'm seeing a bit late. But amazed to read your experience i think i have the same like this lol. I tried many times to write on this but didn't wrote. I was not part of any community tho as coming from middle clas Indian family my dad had very less salary so i just used to download pdfs and learn. So now after my dad got me stable internet connection I'm on to this amazing community and being active everywhere. Amazing post again. 🤘🤘

Great post Ana! Thank you for sharing your journey. I have tried to/wanted to do the 100 days challenge but I've been afraid to commit. You def inspired me to think about it again. Seeing your journey is inspiring :)

Thanks so much! When the time is right, you can make the commitment, too!

Interestingly, you started off with an Instagram account. Usually, people prefer Twitter.

What happens on days when you hit a complex problem, where you require reading docs and strengthen your knowledge? Does that count as coding?

Yes, something about Instagram seemed to work better for me with this challenge.

I would probably count reading docs as coding since that activity would help me progress with either a project or concept. The beauty of this challenge is that you can make your own guidelines that suite you and keep you learning.

I'm participating, well this is my second time.

Like you said

But the problem with that is there is no pressure to stay accountable

No pressure made me quit the first time, hopefully I'll get to complete it this time.

Awesome Summary by the way!

Thank you so much! And I hope you can stay the course this second time around. Let me know if you want to brainstorm ideas.

Okay I will Ana Vela

Hi Ana. It's awesome that you have completed the challenge.

And I have been thinking for quite some time to start it.

Do you have any advice/tips for me??

Hi, Sabarish. Yes, think about what your goals are and what resources you'd like to use to achieve those goals. Maybe you want to focus on projects for this challenge. Then figure out a time you can study or practice each day. Create a routine so that you don't have to think about when you will complete your hour of code. Let me know if you want to brainstorm more ideas. This planning stage will help set you up for success.

Ana Vela, Thanks for these tips. I would give this some thought and I will definitely reach out to you if I need help. Thanks once again :)

This is a great summary and I’m happy to hear that the 100 Days of Code Challenge was a positive experience for you! 😃
