So here I am. My proudest streak yet:

Day 100 of daily coding for at least one hour everyday.

I wrote about my daily code streak frequently, recounting my experience month by month. It had the roller-coaster highs and lows similar to a typical budding romance, almost! 

21 July - first steps, with excitement and trepidation. Learned that I don’t have to finish any online course. Thinking about learning by-products as products. 

21 Aug - first month, jumping out of bed for code, learning Vue, Nuxt, playing in Codepen. Learned how to ask questions, rubber ducking and rebooting. Making my first API-first app!

21 Sep - second month, feeling the intense highs from building, diving deeper into Rails API. Learned not to be lazy, especially if I knew better. Fun detours are a necessary part of the learning/coding process. Discovering my kid in a candy store moment in coding, and the softer (but just as important) parts of coding. And the most important thing I do for the day is coding.

21 Oct - third month, maturing and easing into a stable routine, with less highs, more lows. Learning about tech choice overload and how to think about what tech to use, and rebounding back and forth between Rails and Node.js/Strapi [1] [2] [3] [4].

29 Oct - 100 days of code, today. Diving into the messy backend world of SQL and query languages. 

“A year from now, you’ll wish you had started today.” - Tony Robbins

Indeed, Mr Robbins. 100 days ago, I wished I had started, just as I did many times before. But that time, these words got me - “Easy or not, time will pass anyway.” And I acted on that wish, and I’m so glad now that I did.

So what have I made during these 100 days of code?

Now that’s a hell lot of stuff done in 100 days!!!

So what’s next? 

• Will continue to code daily
• But won’t count my streak anymore
• Will get into making real payable products, for real
• Start a product studio as a startup, since I like making new products anyway

So there. #100daysofcode
