Getting Back into Coding - Returning Home

Hello! I have been missing in action for about 2 years. To be frank, I am a bit rusty with coding. After my tech internship, life hit me with some lemons and I ended up in an entirely different career path and had to pause with my college degree. That aside, I am ready to get back on track.

So far, during the past month or so, I have been dabbling with coding just for fun and I was exploring Swift - the coding language for Apple products. I immediately fell in love with it. It’s so easy and very beautiful to work with. I’m glad that Apple has a ton of learning resources, from Swift Playgrounds where you can experiment with code (very beginner friendly) to well written documentations. With my love for Apple products — I am also very deep in the Apple ecosystem and my newfound obsession with Swift, I thought maybe I should give coding a try again. So here, I am.

I am trying to take baby steps and ease myself back into it. Perfection does not matter, as long as I am consistent with creating.

be busy. busy not checking messages. busy reading those books you never started or finished. busy having a good night of sleep. busy taking care of yourself and your skin. busy moving your body. busy helping your community. busy reflecting on your life and what you can improve. busy doing things aside from the capitalistic viewpoint of “productivity.” busy slowing down.

guided by God. surrounded by love. living in gratitude. receiving blessings. experiencing joy. focused on myself.

Hiya~!

Just wondering how's your software development internship? 💗

Hope it's not too hard and everyone is friendly and willing to help you! 🤗

Hi Loa!

I'm doing great! I started my internship and I am also now part of the Computer Science Tutor Team in my college. I am so busy but I am learning a lot! Everyone was really friendly and everything was not as scary as I thought it would be. We got this. :)

A fellow computer engineer hi!

hiiii! :)

hi! icy here! ♡

i am currently studying computer engineering as my college major. i have great interest with the intersection between design and engineering.

in my free time, i love to learn (just learning in general). some of my favorite hobbies are ballet, reading books and playing video games. i also love being creative... i also really like anything related to astronomy and self-improvement.

academic interests: engineering, computer engineering, ux/ui design, human computer interaction, design, ai, robotics, astrophysics i have degrees in history (focus is on american immigrant history), visual communication design (graphic design) and liberal arts.

i don't think i'll ever stop learning.

i hope that sharing my journey would help and inspire someone out there. ♡

icy's (big sis advice portion): i know it may get overwhelming sometimes but here is a reminder that you are right in the middle of something you used to pray for... be kind to yourself and trust the process...

my summer vacation have been so busy…

some of the things i have been up to: i started a ux/ui bootcamp, moved to my first apartment, started driving lessons and i’m currently focusing on front-end development.

a gentle reminder:

it’s only delusional until it’s done.

sprinkle in a little bit of self-care ✨ my life is always busy so i always make sure to have a little time for myself. don't get me wrong, i'm beyond thankful i get to go to college, go to work, go to the gym, etc,.. always looking forward to the future and being fully present in the now... thank you for 3200 followers... i really don't know what to do with this blog. i initially started it to be a studyblr. i know ya'll here for computer science/computer engineering content but my life doesn't always revolve around it...

Can you advice online materials for Linux learning? I’m kinda curious… because I want to develop myself in Cyber Security 🥺

what i used when learning the command line / linux / unix: The Linux Command Line by No Starch Press Codecademy (Learn the Command Line course) i find that reading documentations and doing tutorials on my free time really helps... learning about the linux/unix history might also help... i did take this topic as a college class, so my professor's lectures were really helpful...
