Coding at 4 AM: Why My Code Still Failed 🤦‍♂️

It’s 3:53 AM and I’ve been coding for 8 hours straight. This is the raw, unedited reality of becoming a self-taught developer.

In this video, I take you behind the scenes of my latest project—adding secure email verification and authentication to my app. I thought I had it finished, but a persistent internal server error had other plans.

What you’ll see in this vlog:
* The Debugging Struggle: Watching a user get created in the database while the API still throws an error.
* Backend Logic: My process for setting up Node.js, Nodemailer, and JWT verification.
* The Self-Taught Reality: Why it's okay to walk away and try again tomorrow.

As someone from a non-tech background, these late nights are part of the journey. If you’re a beginner or a career switcher currently stuck on a bug, just know you’re not alone. We’re in this together!

Drop a "Keep going" in the comments if you’ve ever stayed up past 3 AM to fix a bug! 🚀
