Starting something new

Ok, if it wasn’t already apparent - I’m not great at the whole “writing every day” thing. I could say that I’ve lost all motivation due to being stuck inside all day because of this virus but the truth is, it really never became the habit which I wanted it to be.

On that note, I am going to explore something new. I have always loved being a developer - no, a software engineer, and although most of my career has been with web development I know that some use cases necessitate a more native app experience. So I’m going to try building an app!

If you asked 10 year old me what I wanted to be when I grow up I would have said an inventor. I have always loved inventing things and it wasn’t until later than most that I channelled that energy into problem solving with computers. In fact I’m convinced that I invented so many things before they actually became real products, I wish I knew what patents were when I was 10.

What is the crazy invention this time? I hear you ask. Well, it’s top secret - like all good inventions. This isn’t a plan to create the next big thing, or to make my millions, it’s just an excuse to start something new. Hopefully something I can actually stick to.
