Inspiring! Our journeys are essentially identical, even though the wins really haven't been forthcoming for me.

Overnight successes truly do take years of silent struggle. Keep winning, bro!

Dear David, Thank you.

A friend sent me this link yesterday and when I saw the lent of the post I hesitated, because I had spent a lot of time reading a course and I was totally spent after.

Journey was challenging but it's beautiful how you fought through it, thank you, you inspire me.

So apparently I am a freelance writer, and recently I came across technical writing and it took my deepest interests because I've always loved tech but I didn't know where to come in.....so, finally technical writing gave me my entrance into tech.

I started my learning journey some days back and reading this has really pumped me up for the journey.

I had to create my hashnode account because of you and I'll consistently follow this space, you'll also see me on your other platform by God's grace🀭.

Thank you for choosing to inspire even as you aspire.

Cheers, David πŸŽŠπŸŽŠπŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽˆ

Wow. Your journey was a rollercoaster indeed! My 2 cents on your regret on not doing more coding last year is - "na person wey chop dey code. You're adding incredible value in the industry whether you're coding directly, or explaining concepts to the simplest level"

Wishing you more wins come 2023 and beyond πŸ’πŸ’

Thank you, David. I have a friend who's into technical writing and you just gave me a glimpse of what it is to be one. I'm proud of you PπŸ₯Ίβ€οΈ. For me, I've cried many times that maybe this tech thing is not for me and thought having a mentor equates me to doing well. Well, thank you for showing me I can do tech well if I'm determined to. Thank you! And I do hope you get the full-time frontend job you desire.
