You Start With a Brick


I am starting to love programming, and the mindset that programmers have.

When I started programming, I had some trouble because I would focus on getting the project done quickly vs. getting it 100% correct. Granted, that was mainly because I didn't know a lot, but I had to adjust my mindset from maintaining a schedule, to building robust programs, at all costs.

I didn't realize that those simply programs I was writing would be the foundation to what I am doing now. Programming is learning how to do perform a simple action as perfectly as you can, and building upon it the next day.

It's simple
You don't set out to build an entire wall. Don't start by saying "I am going build the biggest baddest wall there ever was". You don't start there.

You start with a brick.

You take that brick and you take the time and energy to set that brick as perfectly as you can. Then lay the next one, and then the next one. If you do that day in and day out, in time, you will soon have that biggest, baddest wall. Starting with a brick is just one of the examples of how to constantly self improving found on GoNextWorld.

Wait until you see the size of #ProjectHailMary...
