Some weeks are hard and some weeks are just amazing, this week has been the latter.

Not only have I overcome my fear of tech with trains - JMRI installation with Sprog working but I've completed a piece of code development that wasn't even on the radar a week ago and today began processing files for the first few of 50,000 free school meal vouchers that need to go out in the next week or so to parents.

Twelve months ago I was in the early days of an apprenticeship where I was feeling quite negative, but now realise just how valuable my learning from it has been, from requirements gathering, flowcharts, Entity tables to Test Driven Development - all new buzzwords that I now use when planning a piece of work before I even begin typing the code.  Who says an old dog can't learn new tricks.
