 # Dr. Strangelove or: How I handled my stubbornness to become a web developer

 I faced a completely different situation back when I began college in 2010, which is the story I'd like to tell you today.

+You now must be asking why I didn't see myself as nothing but an Engineer?

+Well, there are several reasons, which can be summed up in 3 points:

+1. My dad pushed me into the IT world from a very early age
+2. I used to be an avid gamer, so PCs were fascinating for me; especially selecting the components to build one from scratch
+3. Engineering just seemed the right choice for me if I wasn't good with maths

 So there I went.
 
 My first real programming course was "Programación I" or "Programming 101", which was taught using C#.

 Even though we were developing really basic CLI applications, I had a hard time grasping all these new concepts. (Fun enough: I did grasp the `arrays start at 0` concept from start)

 Of the three, I failed the first and the second one —and even approving "Databases", I used to thought (until a few years ago) that I knew shit about them.
 
 "Design tools" was the most frustrating of all 3, because CSS positioning seemed so hard to get right. (This was in 2011 and while we had Bootstrap, we didn't had cool stuff like Flexbox and CSSGrid; I must also add that _CSS positioning_ is **really** hard, as demonstrated by the GIF below)

 We also were taught how to use Dreamweaver —so I had to deal with, not only CSS issues, but also had to fight any issues that came up when installing DW and don't get me started on the hell that was installing WAMP.

 Honestly, I didn't researched a lot back then and Sinatra seemed pretty cool but it's worth noting that I modeled a lot of my application to be Rails-esque, so I managed to grasp **a lot** of Rails magic unconsciously. Controllers, routing, I18n, layouts, asset management, authentication, authorization, you name it —I had to implement most of this stuff from scratch, which one hell of a exercise (not in futility, of course); I look back at it and I'm glad to say I recognize most of the mistakes, something fundamental in order to know you've actually grown up as a developer, but I also loved what I did the way I did it, which was the main objective.

 Fast forward one year, I handed my thesis and presented it against a committee and they couldn't be more happier, they loved both the end-product and the presentation. I attained a final score of 98.22 points over 100 and my thesis received several honours, between them an "honorific mention" because of said score, "absolute quality" for fulfilling all the standards set by my college within regards to dissertations and a «ground-breaking technology usage» honour for developing my thesis with technologies not included within the degree's program.
