About Ben Third

I started learning web development in the summer of 2021. One significant challenge I faced as I taught myself was navigating the landscape and developing my learning plan as I went.

Thanks to the challenging path I took, I understand all parts of the development pipeline. I also developed a high level of adaptability in learning new languages, frameworks, and libraries.

I love reading. Specifically, I'm a big fan of non-fiction books. Some of my favorites are Atomic Habits by James Clear and the Good to Great series by Jim Collins.

I also like tabletop games and video games, usually strategy games that revolve around character or community development. “Dominion” and “Civilization” are both great examples. Chess is another of my favorite games.

One of my favorite ways to spend a day off is to visit a park or landmark. That could include walking the trails at Carlos State Park or standing on Palisade Head to look at the horizon.

I'm a bit of a history enthusiast, as well. I hope to visit unique ancient architecture and world-renowned historical sites one day.
