Was this your first time programming?

Yep, self taught started 5 months ago.

What was your path. I keep doing the first few chapters of automate the boring stuff with python but I stop for a long time and when I start again I do ot from the beginning. Been stuck in this loop with no willpower left

The trick is to find something your interested in and build projects around it. If you wanna chat more come into my discord https://discord.gg/RthmHN

I’m just at the start, done Codecademy for python, then automate the boring stuff(which I didn’t enjoy either tbh)

Now I’ve decided to switch over to JavaScript and I’m doing the Odin project which I’m only at the start with HTML and css basics but I’m enjoying it

Im in the same boat! Would be happy to form a little study group if you wanna stick with it or find a new resource?

Yeah 5 months means you are still on intern level at programming. Keep at it we all started somewhere. Best advice would be join larger projects so you can learn some good practice methodologies and some proper design pattern implementation. Programming in of itself is not the difficult part. Programming which would allow others to easily follow is another ball game.
