More About Me

Let's be honest, despite the clever intro; I have no clue what I am doing. I am trying to figure out how to transition from one career field to another. I currently work in Acquisitions but I want to be a Software Engineer (Full Stack Dev). I will use this post to help me track and share my ongoing journey through the tech world. Good Luck to my future self. This should be a bumpy ride.

Circling Back

on   in   with No comments

July 11, 2025

I am back to where I started; 

I was exploring LinkedIn Learning last month and became easily bored with the content. 

I have no justification for the boredom other than I felt like i was going nowhere fast. 

the course work seemed like college level (blah blah) all practical and not applicable. 

I considered exploring this site name PLURALSIGHT which i found to be a federally connected resource, but felt it would make me essentially feel the same......in short, I am back where I started. 

I returned to my original stomping ground and to the website that inspired me to start coding in the first place......@Traversy Media. 

💜WEBSITE: https://www.traversymedia.com

💜YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@TraversyMedia

This time, I spent $25 to take his HTML, CSS from the Beginning 2.0 course just to make sure I remember everything he originally taught me. 


SOOOO MANY FREE VIDEOS. 

Already I feel like I am back to my old self. I am so inspired by his teaching style/method that I am rearranging everything to make sure i take adequate notes and am able to give his course my undivided attention 

Maybe after i run through a bunch of Traversy Media courses and complete my planned projects; I will circle back around to those other sites and explore what more they have to offer. but right now i think the most important thing is to build my confidence where i feel the most comfortable. 

Note: I am taking all of my notes in this new app on MACBOOK called OBSIDIAN 

so far it seems far more superior than Stupid Notion which was a literal pain in the ass to deal with. 

as of this draft 7/11/25 - I was inspired to wake up at 1:00am to get on my PC and work towards my Full Stack Goal. (now tell me that isn't a great sign of motivation and inspiration)

I have my Traversy Folder and my Blogger Folder in one place now so that I can stay focused. 

Logging off - DYYANNA 7/11/25
