Nice story, Mescudi! Great that you're looking for something you're more excited about to work with! Changing careers is never easy but hold on to this journey that you'll achieve that!

Awesome projects you have there on CodePen, congrats! I advise you to put them all on Github since that's where you'll be able to show your work when applying for jobs. Also it'd be nice to learn a bit about Git when pushing your projects there.

Another tip, I'd give you is to create a Twitter account and also document your journey there. There's a big dev community also in your situation and that will help you to have another support system. Hope it helps :)

Bom dia 🇧🇷 Rafael,

Appreciate your response and tips. Currently looking to move many of my code pens to GitHub. With Twitter I’ve had small interaction when it comes to web dev. Any suggestions on what community to follow etc. I will be learning about git(taking a course pretty soon on it) next project is a basic web api using call of duty’s web app and fetch twitch”s api. Thank you and appreciate your feedback!

Haha Bom dia, Mescudi! Tudo bem? 😆

Nice! Github is the best place to put our code. I think with Twitter you could see people tweeting with #100daysofcode #DEVCommunity and follow, interact with them to find out more people. Aaah cool! It'll be a good way to practice and learn about APIs and backend dev 👏 Keep it up! Reach me out if you need anything :)
