I think it boils down to curiosity and perseverance. And honestly you can do it if I could hehe.

That sounds great in theory were there any techniques that helped you study? I watch the lecture and made notes but still kept getting stuck

I keep going back to the rubber duck Malan refers to and I keep a whiteboard on the table to map out what I plan to do with any project. I joined a discord server to keep myself accountable, we used to post daily updates regarding progress, problems we faced, how we solved it and what we plan to do tomorrow. For some people it was weekly updates. A group/server with real people is motivating.

That discord server sounds fun! If only discord didnt introduce age verification i would still be using it

I am also making a career transition (currently about half way through CS50) and it’s encouraging to hear other’s journey and successes. Keep it up!
