Although, starting from project zero does pose a curious question: will I need to complete 119 projects to hit the magic CodeQuest118 ? A problem for future me to unravel. This is where the journey began, and let me tell you—it’s been a wild ride. Project Zero might seem small in the grand scheme, but every journey starts with a first step—one small win that sets the course for bigger things.
