20.

well, it happened. i turned 20 today. the big two-oh.

it feels weird. like, i'm technically an adult-adult now. no more "teen" in the number. i have a job. i pay taxes (unfortunately). i have a favourite spatula. is this it? is this the peak?

looking back at 15-year-old me, struggling to write hello world in lockdown... i just wanna give her a hug. she was so stressed. she thought she had to figure it all out immediately. she thought if she didn't get high distinctions in maths, her life was over.

spoiler alert: i still haven't figured it all out. i still google basic things. i still get nervous before meetings. but i'm doing it. i'm here. i'm writing code that people use.

here's to the twenties. hopefully they come with less global pandemics and more successful deployments. fingers crossed.
