Interview with Vanessa Aristizabal, contributor to Google’s Dev Library

Posted by the Dev Library Team

What is one thing that surprised you when you started using Google technology?

What kind of challenges did you face when you were learning how to use Angular? How did you manage to overcome them?

I would like to share that maybe it’s a common practice for developers that when we are working on some requirement for a project, we look it up on Google or Stack Overflow. And if we find a solution, we copy and paste the code without internalizing that knowledge. The same happened to me. Initially, I implemented bad practices as I did not know Angular completely. This led to the bad performance of my applications.

How and why did you start sharing your knowledge by writing blog posts?

It was really difficult to learn Angular because, in the beginning, I did not have a solid basis for the web. So, I first had to work on that. And during the process of learning Angular, I always had to research something or the other because sometimes I couldn’t find the thing that I needed in the documentation.
