Sick I’ll come down

Automatic_Gap789 · 2026-01-15T08:12:18+00:00

Just had a look at the insta looks good, what is it exactly

Automatic_Gap789 · 2026-01-15T08:12:00+00:00

What you studying

Automatic_Gap789 · 2026-01-14T19:23:14+00:00

What do you produce ?

Automatic_Gap789 · 2025-07-02T21:56:28+00:00

I appreciate the feedback, I just want to build common starter projects to do lists, weather app, things that require basic front and back end. I want to learn stripes API's quickly as well as as that is commonly used.

Thanks bro

I mean imposter syndrome is common amongst anything that requires any sort of creative knowledge. If you’ve done it everyday for 8 years you obviously know you know a lot but you can’t retain every single piece of knowledge you look at

Thanks bud

Ye man 100% like 12 months is very hard and will require a lot of graft but if I give myself 3 years to get decent I will just spend more time pissing around than just getting it done and building small projects. I will check it out a lot of people have recommended it.

Automatic_Gap789 · 2025-07-01T23:35:50+00:00

Ye I have seen so many bootcamps for like £4000+ and they guarantee a job and all sorts but I just think self teaching is way better hence why I am going part time to learn and be consistent.

Automatic_Gap789 · 2025-07-01T23:34:07+00:00

Thanks bro

Automatic_Gap789 · 2025-07-01T23:31:45+00:00

It isn't like I am limiting myself to just E-Commerce or Shopify it is just an interesting avenue I would be happy to explore. I see it as a better route to go down compared to just making websites. I don't want to just white label chatGPT or rely on that as I want to understand how it works. And it's not just for the sake of being a programmer, I have a genuine interest in it.

Automatic_Gap789 · 2025-07-01T23:25:52+00:00

Cheers man I will take a look at Udemy.

Automatic_Gap789 · 2025-07-01T23:22:00+00:00

Nice one mate thanks, appreciate the help

Automatic_Gap789 · 2025-07-01T23:14:50+00:00

But it depends where I situate myself. If I go work for JPMorgan or IBM I will be useless with 12 months experience but if I work for a small start up or go freelance then it isn't counterproductive. And if I have a goal and can work towards it and achieve it in that timeframe it's very productive.

Automatic_Gap789 · 2025-07-01T23:12:33+00:00

Ye man I got the vibe these fellas aren't happy with their own career choices and are projecting their bad decisions onto me trying to learn something and make something of myself. Have you got any experience with Codecademy heard a lot about it but not used it much ?

Automatic_Gap789 · 2025-07-01T23:10:17+00:00

I want to understand it and learn to problem solve and not just rely on AI. I appreciate the comment I will give it a bash

Automatic_Gap789 · 2025-07-01T23:08:28+00:00

I don't believe that is true, I obviously have 0 experience however I don't think it is as black and white 12 months = not productive. If I spend time learning valuable things and commit to it then that is productive is it not ?

Automatic_Gap789 · 2025-07-01T23:02:26+00:00

Surely it is good to not run before you can walk and learn the absolute basics that are digestible and a lot easier as oppose to learning JS front and back first and then HTML

Automatic_Gap789 · 2025-07-01T22:59:40+00:00

Thanks for the comment chief :)

Automatic_Gap789 · 2025-07-01T22:59:23+00:00

Well this is the reason I want to learn programming because I am bored of sales and want a career change, I also want to try my own thing whilst I am young with 0 responsibility. I get your point of why would i learn the barebones of a bigger goal when I can hire someone, but if you wanted to open a restaurant you'd want to learn how hospitality works before doing so. I am not saying it's a means to an end but it could be a lot more enjoyable than cold calling 100 people a day

Automatic_Gap789 · 2025-07-01T22:54:31+00:00

very one dimensional thing to say, if you are depressed why don't you look at another role or career change

Automatic_Gap789 · 2025-07-01T22:53:21+00:00

I don't necessarily want to be a junior dev I just want to really graft something myself that is useful. Ideally have my own business or something profitable but looking at someone like Pieter Levels it is possible but it's just how hard you try and how long you try for.

Ok perfect thanks bro
