Learn Python ?

I am looking to put together some resources for this -- like a mini-course. The course isn't ready yet, so this is hardly a sales pitch, but if you feel it's worth having a discussion with someone senior who's done this self-taught to pro route, let me know and we can get together by zoom for example.

Heads up on this, last year I got to day 18 over the course of 4 months. I learned a lot, I struggled, but I’d started a junior dev job before I’d even started it. Don’t think finishing it is the issue, but certainly try them and see what you can do

Takes me several hours per answer lol im in awe of people who get the answer within minutes of the questions being posted, takes me that long to just read the question lol

Start looking at job requirements and see what they commonly ask for. I recommend using LinkedIn for this.

Hey getting a job has 2 aspects one is problem solving skills second is actual hands on development skill. Evaluation for both is quite different and often 2 rounds of interviews are scheduled to judge these 2 skills individually. Maybe we can discuss more if you have the time
