The internet is just magic right...?
In 2022 I decided to find out
I found myself randomly working in a tech company, what better place
to find out how it all works! I looked through many coding languages
to find out what builds the internet.

Then in a random £20 online course from who knows where I learnt the
3 foundations of the internet.

HTML CSS Javascript
Getting a pink, underlined 'Hello World' printed on a page... I was hooked
Emotion gage: 🤩
I worked with tech geniuses so I continued to learn from them and
ask endless questions.
Emotion gage: 🤭
I knew I needed to learn more but the internet contains so much
information its a minefield.
Emotion gage: 🤔
Codecademy was recommended to me and I was off playing with the
possibilities of code.
Emotion gage: 😎
One of my mentors once said to me 'developers don't know how to do
everything, but they are the best at Googling' (thank goodness for
ChatGPT now...)
Emotion gage: 😊
Unfortunately whilst enjoying this journey I found out I was being
made redundant.
Emotion gage: 😢
Then a little instagram story popped up for me advertising SheCodes
👩💻
Emotion gage: 🤓
It must have been the universe telling me to take the leap...
Emotion gage: 🫣
...So I did, I completed my SheCodes course and I have now been a
software developer for 6 months!
Emotion gage: 🤗
I have so much to learn, every day is a steep learning curve (some
days are more of a straight up cliff!)
