learn how to code instead of browsing the coli all day brehs

[MrPentatonic]

Been at it everday since last summer. Blocked my account on here & social media since December to July. Probably job ready, just polishing up my portfolio then will start the job hunt in a month or two. Taught myself C# and Javascript until I could use React + Redux etc. with efficiency.

Glad I took that year out of my life to focus, just goes to show what you can do if you stop procrastinating and making excuses

1 year and a few months into my first front end developer job. Got a promotion to mid level 6 months into it. Things are sweet.

Spending less time on here and more time doing positive actions paid off.

Use an app like RescueTime to see how much you spend on here and on social media over a year and think about what if you spent that doing something productive

Great thread ! Took a coding class as an elective but it whooped my ass . I’m gonna be dedicating an hour or two to coding . And learn as much as possible.

I've gone as far as possible in my career without being able to code. But now I've got no choice.

Currently 40% through the Web Development Bootcamp course on Udemy. Tackling Javascript right now.

One piece of advice is to research any online course before you buy it. Don't take a course simply because it is free or expect a course to be great because it costs a lot of money. Also check out what people who completed the course are saying. Read the reviews. Search for keywords like 'expert', 'career' or 'complete' in the reviews. It is not just what you are learning, but who is teaching. The course I am taking costs $11.99 and so I know a lot of people would assume it is not very in-depth but the instructor actually teaches Web Development Bootcamps IRL & has had over half a million people enroll in his course.

I've worked in a Security Operations Center for a few years. And after that did security compliance before jumping into Cybersecurity Engineering. Now I'm trying to switch to doing Redteam or Penetration Testing. I normally switch jobs every couple of years.

Started in January. I know JavaScript, Python, Java (still have a lot to learn), HTML, and CSS. I should be more than job-ready in a few months
