"One Step At A Time"

This activity is about a concept, an idea, or a thought online about a best practice related to web development or software engineering that can be summarized into a statement. Sources can range from a tweet, a blog post, from a book, etc. My chosen concept came form this blog post by a developer named Steve Klabnik. You can find it here. The first tip talks about handling tasks and sticking to one task at a time.

For a beginner like me, tackling programming tasks that might be relatively easy to others can be daunting since I don't have the necessary skills and experience yet to code confidently. There can be a lot of things to consider, a lot more to worry about and things can get complex pretty quickly. This is where this tip becomes incredibly helpful. By breaking down a complex task into smaller, manageable bits, the load becomes lighter and it becomes easier to complete each task both physically and mentally. Something that adds to the beauty of this idea is that it doesn't just apply to programming. In problem solving in other fields, also even in our daily struggles, we can use it too. So whenever I'm faced with a really challenging problem, I'll keep in mind to take a single step at a time and progress steadily, until I get to the finish line.
