"CHANGE", prolly what you need right now.

Everyone fears some change. We could debate this all day long it's true not all things need to change but you're definitely not one of them.

Understanding the basics of Change

What's change in the first place? I'd say it depends on what you're trying to achieve as a developer my philosophy on change is the level of success you desire determines how much you have to change.

Nobody gets it right off the bat, change is that extra effort you put in place, the stuff you have to do differently to make something you desire happen. The truth is everyone must and will change. In fact everything changes. The power of change is not to be undermined, change can take you from the top to the bottom and also bring you down in an instant. Understanding how change works in the simplest of terms is something often overlooked( I paid the price too). As a developer there are some things you need to understand about change and the power it has over your career.

the level of success you desire determines how much you have to change.

• Hey I'm Change and I respect no one: Yes! its true no one and nothing is above change. You must understand that things will not stay the same forever they will always Change. That friend you have, the programming language you learnt, the OS you use, all these things/people change over time

• Build-up and Break-down: Most times change comes in form of a simple single choice or a set of choices that can either result in a downward breakdown of all you've built till that instance or a super boost to increase your build-up.

• Pretty Hard: Don't be deceived by anyone change isn't a simple it is hard is often painful and discomforting. Especially as a developer. When I first started learning Python, I had to stay up late at night. Although it's much easier for me now, it was a significant change back then, and I often ended up with headaches. Nothing valuable comes easy, and change ensures it stays that way.

• Unexpected: Especially changes that we can't control. Most changes occur spontaneously, at unexpected times. For instance, a client might suddenly call off a contract, or your device might develop a fault. I remember the day I switched from Windows to Ubuntu. My Lenovo Ideapad was always lagging, and I was working on a job that required using Elementor on WordPress. The deadline was just a few days away, and I still had several pages to design. It was a tough decision, and I lost a few files, but I had to change my OS to something that worked for me.

The core concept of change is all about understanding the basics of change, it's importance and how it affects us all.

I will be sharing the importance of change in the next post. Stay tuned.

Thank you for reading through.

See you next time.
