It has been a long time since I have felt as vulnerable as I do now. I completed my first few hours of pair programming, introductory lectures, and struggling to get Floobits up and running. I had never engaged in social programming before these recent hours and I find myself fighting an ever-growing feeling of self-doubt.

My partner is a phenomenal individual; however, it is clear that his familiarity with the material is highly fluid whereas mine is reluctantly viscous.

I can discuss abstract concepts and break them down.

My partner will go implement the revealed strategy.

But when roles are reversed, our productivity is halved.

I am embarking on an ambiguously difficult journey toward a future that I carry high and strong hopes for, I am completely open and eager to embrace the Hack Reactor experience.
