From discomfort to comfort: #JavaScriptmas

My experience so far.

The #JavaScriptmas daily challenge has been one of the best decisions I have made as a software developer. I'm enjoying every bit of the lesson and the challenge.

I have always thought of solving JavaScript challenges but never gave myself the opportunity of doing so probably due to fear of not being good enough to understand the challenges and solve them effectively on my own or better still give up.

Participating in this year 24 days of #JavaScriptmas, has taught me the lesson of consistency as a developer as learning and growing never stops.

The #JavaScriptmas challenge is a laudable initiative from Scrimba to keep engaged developers with a basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to test their skills and commit to a streak of 24 uninterrupted days solving a challenge daily. I participated in this to improve my problem-solving skills.

I have learned a lot from this exercise and probably build great projects with this knowledge I have gained so far from these challenges on Scrimba.

Choose Discomfort: It never gets easier till you start.

For this reason, I'm always expectant of the next challenge each day and to remember that there are many ways of solving a challenge (I love using a for loop 😜 ).

To summarize, this article is a sort of motivation and a year in review on my progress.
