Right now I'm just polishing my JavaScript knowledge and doing some Python lessons along the way. Overall, I've been doing JavaScript for about 5 years now.

How about yourself?

Yeah, I have a bit of a portfolio up. For all of the time I've spent studying, I really don't have a lot on it. After my bootcamp, I did a lot of self-teaching and didn't follow-through on adding to my portfolio. I'm certain that's a large part. Also, I haven't really been serious about it. Like you said in your other comment, I still don't feel job-ready.
