My 4PRs
Highs and Lows
One of my most significant accomplishments this month was having a light-bulb moment while creating a low-code app using Illa Cloud. It marked my first foray into low-code development, introducing me to a world of novel concepts. Although it seemed daunting initially, I overcame challenges by watching YouTube tutorials, diving into documentation, and studying other projects. This experience not only broadened my skill set but also instilled a sense of adaptability in problem-solving.
Another notable accomplishment this month was my experience with a pull request that didn't get selected, but it provided a valuable learning opportunity. I delved into unit testing using Jest, a previously unfamiliar component of my tech stack. Though the PR outcome was not as expected, the knowledge gained about testing methodologies was a valuable takeaway, showcasing my willingness to explore and adapt to new technologies.
Growth
Before HacktoberFest 2023, my skillset primarily revolved around basic JavaScript programming. However, through this event, I ventured into diverse projects, including contributing to a browser extension, crafting APIs, contributing to a todo-list, designing website templates, and building a low-code app with Illa Cloud. These experiences substantially improved my coding versatility and problem-solving abilities. My learning and career goals have evolved, now encompassing a broader spectrum of software development and innovation.
