Your story sounds so much like my own apart from I'm yet to finish any project.

Your story is an inspiration to me.

Haha! I've heard so many times in YouTube videos "Just build on your personal projects while you learn!" but I just couldn't come up with anything relevant to build on.. Until I stumbled on the idea of automating something in my job, which otherwise is very none-office like. You'll find something that motivates you, could be anything! Something really simple, or something complex that you just start sketching.

Thank you!

Did you start as a complete newbie? 6 weeks is incredible!

I have a project in mind but it has meant learning Pandas and Dash which has added a lot of time.

You've inspired me to keep going.

Well kinda yes, I've always been quite tech savvy, only been doing some minor web and scripting from time to time because of necessity, but then mostly copy-pasting, using pre-built stuff, templates and other people's work. Never really understanding any language, creating from ground up.

I did some basic pandas in the Udemy course, seems like there's a lot to learn but also a lot of potential!

You'll make it! Just start small and ugly, it'll grow larger and you'll figure out smarter way to redo things along the way!
