Month 1 - Dec 02 - Dec 26

What I Did This Month

Codecademy Progress: 0% → 16% Learning Hours: ~20 hours

Completed

  • ✅ Intro to Data Engineering
  • ✅ Python Fundamentals (80% done)
  • ✅ Built this portfolio site (Hugo + Cloudflare Pages)

What I Learned

  • Python basics: variables, functions, data types
  • Git version control
  • Hugo static site generation

Fun Problems I Solved

  • Hugo CSS debugging: Spent 3 hours fighting with theme overrides before reading the docs properly 😅 I learn Python not css
  • Time management: Tried to do too much at once, now sticking to 2-hour evening sessions instead of weekend marathons

Cool Thing I Found

Codecademy’s IDE is annoying, so I just do all exercises in VS Code instead. Much better.


Next Month Goals

  • Finish Python Fundamentals module
  • Start next module SQL Fundamentals for Data Engineers
  • Write more learning logs like the Abruptly Goblins one

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5) - Solid start!
