The Power of Automation: My Journey with Scripts and the HNG Internship

Scripts are amazing. I never knew their importance until I needed to reconfigure a new server from scratch. This experience taught me invaluable lessons about the power of automation.
Some months back, I took a break from my software engineering course at ALX to learn Next.js. When I returned to my tasks at ALX, I discovered that I had lost my previous server along with all the painstakingly crafted configurations. I felt confused and almost gave up. But then, I remembered that most of my configurations at ALX were written as scripts which we could execute.
With a ray of hope, I began searching for my scripts, piece by piece, and executing them. What took me days to configure the first time was now done in minutes, automatically, after execution. This experience taught me the importance of scripts and the value of automating tasks whenever possible.
My name is Precious Ifeanyi, I am a software engineering student at ALX. I've always wanted to participate in the HNG Internship but was afraid I wasn't up to the task. This year however, I decided to push myself, thanks to the knowledge and perseverance I gained at ALX. I know the journey will be challenging and difficult, but I believe it will be worth it in the end. I want to be a world-class developer, and it starts here at HNG.
