Pivoted from iOS dev for the opportunity of a tech lifetime ☕️ Learning Java & backend dev 💻 On a mission to build freedom through code 💫
Double win tonight 💻
Finished my Password Strength Checker 🔐 and locked in a new workflow.
I now write code first in Sublime Text (no autocomplete), then move it to Cursor for structure + debugging. Slower, but way clearer. ☕️✨

Big win today 💻
I added the core logic for checking password strength — length, uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters.
Still refining, but seeing the logic come together feels really good. Slow progress, real understanding. ☕️✨

✍🏾 Before I touch an IDE, I handwrite my code ideas. It helps me slow down, focus, and review any concepts I’m still shaky on. Coding as a newbie isn’t about speed — it’s about clarity and confidence. #DevJourney #Java #CodePlanning 💻

Spent the whole evening fighting Cursor instead of writing code 😡🤬
All I want is NO autocomplete so I can actually learn.
Why is disabling this so painful??

Pausing for tonight.

After hours of fighting with Cursor…
my Java project finally runs the way it should 😮💨☕️
Packages, Maven, terminal output — all working.
IntelliJ would never have done me like this 😂
But hey, growth hurts.

Swapped JetBrains IntelliJ for Cursor after learning it’s what the QA team uses.
Because why not add one more learning curve to the journey? 😂☕️

Back after a quiet stretch 👋🏾
So I didn’t pass the first QA Engineer coding test — and that’s okay.
I owned my gaps and was given 6 months and a second chance to level up my Java & SQL skills.
Next up: a QA mentor, a learning plan, and hands-on projects. ☕️💻

Time to come clean 🙂
I was presented with an opportunity to move into an Automated QA Engineering role, which meant learning Java — hence the pivot from iOS dev.
Inital QA exam done & feedback coming in January. ZTM course complete. Still leveling up. ☕️💻
