How I deal with losing or setback? Specially in my mind, the result doesn’t mean everything. Rather than think about the result, why we don’t enjoy the process is the main problem. so instead of thinking about result, try to make your comfort zone to adapt. Still if you failed or setback, the thing that comes to my mind is what mistake I made and what I can learn about it.

For this program, I enjoy the process of surpass your limit. I need to know how far I can go and make it become higher and higher. This program really changes my mind about how software development from began until deploy it to cloud. Yes, I’m still student. Many things that important didn’t teach by my lecturer in campus. It’s normal, because as college student, we need to explore the things that we want to know deeper. That’s why we have ‘Maha’ in front of ‘siswa’.

Honestly process sometimes makes me felt like, man I need a rest for 3 days maybe. But this happen when I can’t balance myself. So, I decide to run a plan like okay after class I must research again in google about the material. Make it run for certain time and make time for my self to stay hydrate and stay relax. Sometimes, after 8 PM, I take one our relax time before continue to do something again. During the break time, I can take dinner, or maybe I only take a rest. This is how I can balance between time for work and time for myself so I can keep perform and not easy to tired.

Thanks to God so I can reach this intermediate phase that taught me a lot. GenerasiGIGIH always trying to make you confidence when you join their class. They teach us step by step. From oop until deployment. Make sure your device can run the apps by helping you install and set the environment. That’s how this program makes me confidence to see that in real work you will learn together with other. This is special things that maybe we can’t find for free in other programs. You know what? The future that I want to see in my self is the new me that can handle backend good enough even not using ruby. Cause GenerasiGIGIH already teach me how to learn backend. Like how can I start. So, I hope I can improve better and better.

The way GIGIH teach us, make us to think how to solve something with critical thinking. Cause there are many ways to Rome. Same as development, we need to take one way, in this case the best ways to reach the requirement. So, the way to build critical thinking is start by define the problem and understand the problem. if we can understand the problem, it should be easier for us to searching more about the problem by using keyword. Then we can fix the problem by searching the most effective way. If that’s not possible, make your own way step by step. I think that’s good way to build critical thinking.

The other things that important beside build critical thinking is the way we adapt in pandemic situation. Seriously, the best method to learn is when you can enjoy and adapt with it. Sometimes hard to start and enjoy something. But we can make it as habitual first. Like what I did, when I join meet, I make sure that I have a full of water bottle. Then when we are in break up time, I take a break to recover my focus. One of most person mistakes when pandemic is multitasking. This is bad to have 2 things that need your focus in the same time. So, make sure you can avoid that.

Last for you my friend, I always learn from YouTube or stackoverflow. When you face something wrong, you can search the solution. In YouTube, there are so many course videos about code. I usually search from freecodecamp channel to learn something new. Hoe about website? It thinks documentation sometimes didn’t give us the best way to done something. So, you can search other website that can fixed your problem. it can be ways for you learn from other person failure or other person ways to solve problem.
