🙋‍♀️ Chioma's Motivation

I’ve always been thrilled with computers and I love technology. I have a little background in coding. I have been learning on various platforms and from what I observed throughout my time is that coding is the most valuable and powerful part. Hardware is a commodity…operating systems are generally static….but where the most magic can happen is with code at the application layer. I’ve seen amazing applications really optimize workloads and glean with efficiency but unfortunately that is a very rare occurrence….mostly there are bloated systems that are super expensive and super inefficient in most companies today. It seems like such a waste of time, energ and money. I have always thought I could create an application and do it way better than how it is being done today. I love web development primarily and this is because there’s a lot to learn…and in a way it’s amazing to me. I’ve also found that one of the most challenging parts is that there are not a lot of what I would consider high quality resources out there to learn. That’s been one of the most frustrating parts. But when you start to see your passion project come alive…it’s indescribable…the feeling of accomplishment knowing that you’re responsible for the creation is amazing…and beyond words quite frankly. That’s what motivates me most.
