Everyone Struggles

Well well, its the 3rd week on outreachy internship journey and so far so good its going well even tho I am a bit packed, trying to juggle the holiday activities and coding 🤹 but guess what Enarx is going on break till 4th January, i guess that will give me time to clear some back logs.

On my todo list I have 3 pending blogs, this particular blog, a blog on Trusted Executed Environments and a blog on Confidential Computing Consortium. 🙆 Alright enough about that, lets talk about my recent struggles with Enarx project

To be honest I have an awesome mentor, Nick Vidal has been so helpful and patient, but at first i always wanted to solve most problems on my own so as not to feel incompetent. For example, I have been trying to access enarx lab machine but i couldn't for about 2 days, instead of reaching out to my mentor I tried to solve it on my own not knowing it was a server issue from the lab machine and no matter how much i tried i wont be able to access it till it is rebooted. oh, well luckily for me i have amazing co interns, one of them reached out that she was having same issue and has reached out to the mentor, who told her what the issue was

So guys i spent hours troubleshooting something i have no power over 😆, i practically wasted time, well thats a lesson for me, there is no shame in struggling, no one knows it all, ask for help every time you have to ! 🙂.

Happy Holidays from the Enarx family and confidential computing Consortium ! 🤩🤩
