Editing this to provide a bit of clarification - I'm currently in school to up my developer game, but my current/most recent position is not a dev position.

  1. The consequences of not being able to devote a major portion of my time to learning to code. I went from being a full-time student to a part-time one, and I was not ready for the change.

  2. Because of where I work, when I (finally) finish, I don't actually want to see code because I'm learning at the same place I work.

  3. Helping others succeed at what you're trying to accomplish is hard. I have many down days.

  4. Make sure you have someone to keep you accountable! Accountability partners are important.

  5. Stay true to yourself, your mission, and your goals.
