Day 01 — Learning C++ and Gaining Momentum with PULZ


📚 What I Learned Today – C++ Functions
I spent today deeply understanding functions in C++ — how to write them, pass arguments, and return values effectively.
It may seem like a basic concept, but grasping the “why” behind functions is helping me structure my thinking better — not just in code, but in how I think about solving problems.
As always, I committed my practice programs to GitHub — consistency is key, and my streak is my scoreboard.
🌱 On the Other Side – PULZ Moved Forward
The best part of today?
I received a positive response from an NGO — they’re open to exploring my PULZ initiative to bring tech-based fairness to real-world communities.
This is the first external validation of my idea — and I’m both nervous and excited.
It feels like the beginning of something that could grow beyond me.
🔁 Reflections
I’m starting to see how:
Learning to code consistently
Tracking progress publicly
Staying disciplined, one GitHub push at a time
Believing in tech with a soul
…are all part of the same mission.
⏭️ What’s Next
More C++ (oops)
Drafting a formal pitch for PULZ
Keep showing up daily — even if it’s just one clean push
Thanks for reading.
If you’re building in public too, let’s connect and grow together.
