Hey everyone! 👋
Just wanted to share a bit of my journey and hopefully inspire some of you to start building and experimenting on your own.
Back in 2009, when I was diving into web app development, jQuery and its libraries were all the rage. I remember creating my own little library to handle form validation and make tables more manageable. It was a small start, but it got me hooked on building tools.
Fast forward to now, after more than a decade in SaaS development, my focus shifted to solving real-world problems for businesses and people. But the itch to build never really went away.
Recently, I got to play around with web components, and it reignited my passion for creating tools. It's like going back to my roots but with all the experience I've gained.
Now, I'm super excited about my next project: code generation. I had a taste of it years ago while working with my first manager, and now I'm ready to take it on again.
And here's something important I've learned: people make mistakes, and that's okay. It's part of the process. What really matters is that you don't give up. Try again, learn from your mistakes, and keep moving forward. Every mistake is a lesson that makes you stronger.
So, to anyone out there thinking about building something: Go for it! Start small, learn, and keep growing. You've got this! 💪
