Freecodecamp.org curriculum has changed

I visited FreeCodeCamp.org the other day as I do from time to time because I really really miss coding. I noticed that all the work I had done previously was now in a legacy section and a new curriculum was up. I was a little let down at first because I worked really hard the past few years to get through the first part and I was one project away from completing my certificate. I haven’t really worked on anything in the past few years due to lack of time specifically lack of uninterruptible time due to kids and marriage and everything that goes along with maintaining a household.

My feeling of panic having done all that work only to start over turned into relief. It’s been years since I’ve done any work so I’m back to being rusty with my code and picking up a project that isn’t fresh in your mind is one of the reasons I couldn’t go back and just pick up where I left off. If I start now, again, then by the time both kids are in school I’ll have more uninterruptible time to really focus on getting my projects done.

This is good, this is a good thing. Change is hard sometimes but how you handle it makes all the difference. I’m learning to handle change much better than I ever have and I’ve realized that attitude and outlook are everything. I don’t get so stuck anymore and I paddle my way through a lot of situations that used to cripple me. Maybe I’m healing in more ways than I think.

Day 1 on FreeCodeCamp, again. How exciting.
