The mentoring was great, but I also really enjoyed the mentor's lecture content because it was so substantial. In particular, I was curious about how authentication, cookies, and state management—which I previously only had a vague understanding of—are handled in practice, and I was able to get a lot of help.

I applied for this challenge because I often felt like I was losing my sense of direction while self-studying. The mentor provided great help by suggesting various directions through code reviews. In particular, applying the knowledge gained from the live sessions to the project and struggling to write better code in my own way allowed me to gain various insights. Although the implementation was difficult and time was tight, I think it was an enjoyable experience in many ways! If I get the chance, I would love to participate in another challenge as well. haha
