Paris' École 42 demonstrates an essential character trait of any would-be developer.
Stubbornness.
Call it determination, call it perseverance, it remains as the ability to continue working at a problem.
I allude to this experience as banging my head against the wall.
You encounter a new challenge. You stare at it. bang! Attempt to solve it. bang!
It doesn't work...
You research. bang! You stare at it. bang! Attempt to solve it. bang!
That's how it feels for me. You may walk away bloodied. If you keep at it, the neural synapses in your brain hit upon the right sequence and that "Aha" moment passes over you.
You can come into development with raw talent. When you don't come into it a stubborn problem-solver, le deluge of challengs will sweep you away
So keep at it.
