Hi Pauline,
First of all, thank you so much for your response. I just went through your blog and watched your YouTube video from a few years ago. I got so much out of both.
I feel like I am at a similar point to where you were in April 2021, when you asked yourself, “What do you want?” You were still figuring out the smaller details, and that really resonates with me. Right now, I know that I want to pursue software engineering, focus on the technical side of education, and hopefully build community and help others learn. It may sound weird , but I genuinely get a kick out of helping people have that a-ha moment. There is something really satisfying about making a concept click for someone
Looking at your portfolio made me realize that what I have been missing is personality. That is something I will actively work on and make sure to include. It is also really encouraging to see that you did not come from a computer science background and still made it to Vercel. That gives me a lot of hope.
Again, thank you very much for sharing this. Looking at it helped me a lot, especially in understanding what to focus on and improve.
