and you become obsolete.</p><p>Learning  can be in any form, listening to podcast, reading books, watching tutorials, reading blog post like this one.</p><p>Your goal should be to <strong>learn something new everyday</strong>, if you cant do that then weekly, if you can&#8217;t do that then<strong> monthly</strong>, if you can&#8217;t do that then <strong>every quarterly</strong>, if you can&#8217;t do that then in <strong>six month</strong>, if you also can&#8217;t do that then learn at least <strong>one thing in a year!</strong></p><p></p><h3>My Journey</h3><p>Over the past 6 years of my journey as a software developer, i made tons of mistakes and i have mastered tons of technologies, I will be sharing my journey so far and what i have learnt along the way while i focus (but not limited) on Mobile Technologies (Android Native, iOS Native, Flutter and Kotlin Multiplatform)</p><p></p><h3>What?</h3><p>Software - Coding - Tech - Mobile Technologies can be challenging and doing it alone can be more challenging, i will be using this space to share my knowledge about specific software technology, it will be straight to the topic in the most simplest form with sample code sharing</p><p></p><h3>Who?</h3><p>I believe mid-level to expert level developer will benefit alot from my post, beginners that want to master expert topics faster will benefit better as i simplify big topic to the most understandable form.</p><p>The plan is to focus on one technology per time, Mobile technologies most of the time but it can also be something else.</p><p></p><h3>How?</h3><p>I planned to be doing this twice in a month, it can be increased depending on my availability, the posts will always be <strong>free</strong> for everyone</p><div
