Day 2

Crossing my fingers not to jinx it but so far it feels incredibly exciting. I could fall in love with unity. As all good relationships it’s going to take some time and effort but I feel just might be something there to playing the programmer side of rapid prototyping.

Seeing the results of what I’ve done coming to fruition a lot faster than an abstract problem getting it all right before anything even happened is a refreshing change. My previous experience has been academic and book based — sure we applied it but it would be a long hours of staring at convoluted databases before anything well, happened.

I have that fish into water feeling of having found an environment that I really truly enjoy. I have gotten to use some of these development tools from the creators side but it’s never I’ve never really had the tools to get in there and pop the hood and see how all this magic happens. essentially I kind of think of it like a black box that I just assume must work ... Somehow.And while it’s an important concept to be able to understand that about other components in your workflow, I’ve always been incredibly curious about what I could do if I understood that. So as I undertake my coding journey I’m not quite sure what all these components, coding principles everything is going to shape up to be but the new perspective alone has already been so impactful for me personally.

Because one day whether it’s for coding or for art I’m going to be able to look at something and understand this is fundamentals of how this works and maybe I’ll be able to see how to put something together differently or just innovate or reuse something in a way that would have otherwisely remained in that realm of things I once couldn’t do or understand. And that is the feeling you get is an innovator.
