That is awesome! The best thing I get from coding is the love of creation. I've been doing it for 25 years, but I still remember that "hello world" feeling you talk about. Never give up! Have fun with it. And if someone tells you you're not good enough, prove them wrong (or tell them to fuck off :P). Learn and ask questions and don't be afraid to push yourself. You got this!
My advice is supplement your 'Front-end' training with more classical computer science reading and exercises. Rather than looking at all of these fancy front end libraries as purely a toolbox, you will know how the toolbox was made, how to modify it, and how to make your own. Things will be less 'magical'.
Excellent advice!! I have started making a list of things I want to do more of a deep-dive into after school finished and I have a bit more breathing room
Except for the fact that i haven't switched jobs, this is exactly me. Having deep interest in Web development & ML but working as a QA in an MNC, thinking about numerous ways to enhance my hobby projects during my work hours ಠ︵ಠ
Good luck to you.
Congratulations! Great things come when you step out of your comfort zone. Best of luck to you in your bootcamp!
Thanks Lauren!
Awesome, welcome to the club of career switchers 👍🏼. It gets less scary the more entrenched you get in code, which it seems like you're already well on your way! Good luck!
Thanks so much! I'm definitely looking forward to getting to the point where it seems a little less terrifying LOL! I think it will be a wild ride.
It's never too late to change career. Good luck
