What 7 year of Clash of Clan taught me as a Developer

Christmas tree collection for 7 year

Picture this: a journey through the nostalgic landscapes of childhood, where Clash of Clans reigns as a cherished memory in the top five.

From the early days of elixir-fueled army training to conquering bases for max loot, every moment is etched in the fabric of time. Yet, amidst the rush of growing up, one thing remains constant: the unyielding allure of Clash of Clans.

But beyond the battles and victories lies a profound lesson — a lesson in time, patience, and the art of learning. Just as upgrading to Town Hall 15 requires a whopping 15 day’s worth of patience, mastering development skills demands a similar commitment to growth.

Whether delving into the world of MERN or exploring other coding wonders, embracing the journey with the same fervor as gaming unveils a world of endless possibilities.In the section of developers, challenges loom large, especially in the era of AI and rapid technological evolution. Where now or then a SaaS startup with a .ai domain is being launched. But for every challenge, there’s a call to action — a call to start, to embark on a journey of self-discovery and skill mastery.

Reflecting on past struggles, like crafting a resume with scant GitHub projects, no leetCode account, zero internships, serves as a humbling reminder of the power of action over mere contemplation.Thus begins the transformation — a metamorphosis from a novice to a seasoned coder. Daily goals, LeetCode conquests, and contributions to open-source projects become the stepping stones to greatness.

With 41 repositories, 150+ LeetCode challenges conquered, and a dedication to initiatives like the AsyncAPI Initiative, the journey unfolds with every line of code written, every pull request made.In essence, it’s not the thoughts but the actions that shape destinies. So, heed the call, write that code, and make that first pull request.

The journey may seem daunting, but as the adage goes, the hardest part is simply to start. With each line of code penned and every project undertaken, the dawn of a new era beckons — one where it’s never too late to embrace change and forge a path to greatness.
