I felt like this week helped me boost my confidence in tech challenges in general. I think that my biggest issue is nerves - my brain freezes entirely when I get really nervous and I get stuck very easily. Before this week, I felt like there was not really an easy answer to what would fix that, but after this week I feel that I know what I need to do: practice, practice, practice. By the time I did my code challenge with my peer, I had enough practice that I was already starting to feel better and had less nerves going on.
Moving forward, my plan is to complete at least 3 code challenges per day and one each week with my mentor or a peer. I will block off time on my calendar to code challenge daily and schedule a weekly code challenge to practice doing it out loud and work on those nerves.
