This is how it all started
In the following article I want to relate how I started in the programming and web development industry, how I learned to code and build websites from scratch. Why did I write this you may ask? So I don’t forget. Time makes you forget things. My 28th birthday was close and I wanted to keep track of my professional development so I could read about it in the future. If you have ever kept a diary, you probably know how amazing it is to read your own stories as you grow up.

In short, we must adapt and begin thinking about content in a more inclusive fashion.

A little dot that made me pull my hair off
I was coding a long signup form, a very nice one, with the jQuery Validation Plugin, but it wasn’t working. I started to strip the code, piece by piece so I can identify what was causing the plugin to ignore the form and I came up with the most stupid error you will ever seen in your life (at least I think so).
Yes, a little dot that I don’t even know how to write with my keyboard. I even tried to replicate it and I couldn’t. 2 hours of coding wasted on this little bastard. Can you believe that?…
