As I continue to increase the velocity away from the world of SEO, content marketing, linkbaiting and fake news consultant to large media organisations, I get ever closer to Planet Code. I discover there are a few steps in the “learning to code”, journey..

\nRelating to learning a framework or programming language it goes like this.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. I have no idea what the hell is going on, this stuff is complete voodoo and those who make it work are genius.<\/p>\n

2. Learning this stuff is so hard my brain is being trampled on by a stampede of overweight orangutangs.<\/p>\n

3. Watching Netflix and playing Slither.io is far easier than learning javascript.<\/p>\n

4. What the hell, I just coded something and it did the something I wanted the something to do. I have entered the garden of heavenly cool people.<\/p>\n

5. This framework\/language is amazing, I just found out it could do stuff in ways I never even knew stuff could be done.<\/p>\n

7. You then find out a Google Firebase, dbase cannot be searched, erm…. (it can but you have to go to Burning Man to do a 36 hour shamanic dance and suffer involuntary celibacy)<\/p>\n

8. You lick your lips at the React vs Vue debate and resist the temptation to tap the primal brains of innocent coders for links.<\/p>\n

9.You master, Webpack, Babel, SASS, Vue CLI, Bootstrap, Materilize, Firestore cloud functions, ES16, mongoDB…etc and then you forget why you were learning all this stuff in the first place.<\/p>\n

10. You buy a small farm in Cornwall, and grow goats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
