Hi everybody! 👏

We, at Code Clan, 🎈are a close-knit 👪👪👪👪 community of developers, designers, and most importantly humans. We want to grow, learn, work, brainstorm ideas, and most importantly work together to achieve our collective and individual goals.

We believe that many heads are better than one, therefore we are very much invested in collaborative efforts to support our community. We are running a learning platform that helps all of us become better humans and also improve our individual crafts

This Week's theme - Do That Which Scares you

Over the past few weeks, I finally mustered up the courage to get started on learning backend development. I had been putting it off for a long time. I was pretty happy with my knowledge of the frontend technologies, Html, css, Javascript and React. What's the need to learn backend anyway? Even if I wanted to, could I really get to understand it? I wasn't sure. I doubted myself a lot. But my mum always says, do that which scares you. In there lies your growth. I decided to take her word for it and dive deep into backend development. What is the worst thing that could happen? Oh, maybe I had issues understanding certain parts? Well, then, I could ask questions. What if I asked questions and nobody answered me? Well, then, I would make my research on google.

What did I find out? My mum was right. I have gained a level of understanding in this past week than I could have ever imagined. The only regret I have is that I wish I started earlier. I wish I faced my fears way earlier than this. Maybe, then, I could have made more progress. But it's never too late.

So to everyone reading this, I challenge you today. Do something today, this week, this month that scares you. Do that thing that you have been putting off since forever.

And finally, always remember, it doesn't matter how fast you go, it doesn't matter how slow you go. What matters is that you keep on moving. Even if you end up not being successful at that which you did, you can feel confident in the fact that you tried.

We appreciate you all for the efforts you put in this past week.

To everyone following the conversations, learning, and providing support, we appreciate you too. Here is your medal 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇

Thanks to everyone for making Code Clan Community really a clan. You are all awesome ❤️ Have a great week ahead all 🎈

Discussion: What are your goals for this week? For me, I am aiming to complete two coding challenges. They are quite tough. But I'll get a hang of it. So, let's know yours below. You just might find an accountability partner.

Good afternoon guys. What scares me currently is that I was following a tutorial on how to setup webpack and Babel. I am getting an error whenever I try to run the server. npm run start

I love these clan. These community made me from no programming background to become a frontend developer coming from social science education background. I will like to share some of my story some day!!! Never got a job with the knowledge but I keep learning and developing my skill. I hope to become full stack developer by the time I got a software developer jobs. Thanks. My clan, up clan progressive clan.

Nice one @KarenEfereyan .. my goal for this week is two improve my coding skills by solving at least 3 coding challenges per week. This coming week will be the first one. I'm not sure and scared at the same time 😁 if I'll be able to complete 45 coding challenges in the next 60 days. Solving coding challenges has been something I had put off while learning. Hopefully I would be able to do this. If I get through, great. If not I'll keep pushing.

Glad you are picking up solving code challenges. It will help with interviews as well.
