Ruby's TimeShip

Is your skill building stuck in the suck zone?

Not sure how to motivate yourself to get your frontend skill building unstuck? You're working harder than ever, but you don't feel you are building a skill anymore. Do you miss the motivating-good-old-times when you were actually building a skill? Do you feel like you’re on a golden hamster wheel, you would get motivated, if only you could get your skill building unstuck?

You’ve tried to educate yourself about how to get your skill building out of this rut. You’ve read a bunch of blogposts. You’ve watched various videos. You’ve attended a collection of courses – but you can’t figure out how to get motivated and get yourself unstuck from the suck zone?

Imagine that tyour sister might die if you frontend skill building didn't get unstuck

Imagine this – Imagine if your frontend skill building had to get unstuck or your sister might die. In prison. And if your princess sister don't get out of prison, your whole city will be less civil and more hate filled. And then a lot of your friends and neighbours might die. Ruby Reckless faces this challenge in her job as frontend engineer on her own TimeShip on London Bridge in 1554. There is one way for Ruby Reckless to save her sister and that is skill building. Imagine if your frontend skill building this week could magically inspire Ruby to double down on HER skill building back in 1554. Impossible! Surely. Or is it? It's not impossible if Ruby can get the Gatsby function in her TimeShip to work. Because then Ruby Reckless can time travel to the future and get her skill building motivation from watching you keep on struggling on with your skill building.

How It Works:

Ruby's TimeShip — a frontend skill building quest to jailbreak a sister will take place in a short sequence of emails. It's a story Lillian (6 🏴‍☠️👸 ) and I just started writing, it will be over before you know it 😺. Every Sunday, we will send you a tiny part of Ruby's TimeShip to help you stay motivated in your frontend skill building struggles that week. But the welcome email will right after you sign up.

If you ever decide you don't want our story there's an unsubscribe link at the bottom of each and every email. Just click it and we'll part ways, no hard feelings!

But really, I don't think it will come to that. Why? Because you're about to get a slow drip of very valuable motivation! 😺

It'll be like giving your frontend skill building a weekly shot of vitamin B12.

For anything worth becoming badass at, there will be pain.

About the author

Hi! I’m Ola Vea, Queen Raae's piratical partner.

I wasn't always a just another friendly Frontend Engineer I grew up at sea. I grew up in a city, but I spent every summer at sea onboard my father's ship full of youngsters. We crossed the North Sea looking like a sunny mirror and we crossed the North Sea with waves the size of our tiny, white, wooden house where I now live with the Queen and our daughter Lillian (6 🏴‍☠️👸 ).

If I had to choose ONE thing I learned from my seafaring life, it is:

Learning by Doing

Teaching us Learning by Doing was my father's purpose in life. His misson as a teacher and as a father. And I guess when he died I inherited the Learning by Doing mission.

My father used his traditional sailing ship as a tool to show us that we already knew how to learn. My father made Learning by Doing easy and safe for his pupils and for my sister and for me and for our friends. My misson is to use your programming practice to show you that you already know how to learn.

What are you waiting for?

You’re running out of web page! Don’t spend another day believing that the solution to your programming practice woes is waiting around for motivation while you are distracted by something else.
