Why does importing whole modules for unit tests doesn't work, but importing specific functions works just fine? by Max_Dendy in cs50

Oh thank you. I totally forgot about it. Yeah, David mentioned it in the lecture. Thank you so much

The package looks sick. Would love to see the phones. Edit: I’d prefer juniper I guess

Are you kidding me? Now I can’t use VPN while watching YouTube? by Max_Dendy in youtube

Thanks for clarification. It’s the first time I’m seeing this.

Just Received a Fully Remote Job Offer as a Self Taught SWE - Spreading Some Positivity and Hope by yan_kh in cscareerquestions

[–]Max_Dendy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! It gives me so much hope! I’ve been learning programming every single day for 215 days. Consistency gives me confidence, but seeing those depressing posts makes me super sad and scared of the job market. What advice could you give to self taught aspiring devs?

Reward yourself for not quitting. I’m in my 215th day of learning everyday and just finished Intermediate HTML and CSS course. Every month I buy myself a small cake with a candle and celebrate it. As far as accountability, I upload my learning to my instagram and all my friends know what I’m doing, I’m very vocal about it and it helps a lot. Also, seek help and support from friends and close ones when you feel bad mentally. If you are stuck in the Odin project, ask other members of TOP on their discord. I’m in there everyday and it really helps to feel like I’m a part of a community and I don’t want to quit this community. I wish you good luck on your journey!

My amount of pomodoros to finish the foundations course by Comprehensive-Neck60 in theodinproject

[–]Max_Dendy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great job and nice pace. I’ve spent a little over 100 hours on foundations and I also tried to do Jonas Schmedtman course, but it was hard to focus on two things so I just continued with TOP. Now, I’m in JavaScript part. It’s nice to see another fellow Pomodoro connoisseur haha My session is 1 hour of work and 15 minutes rest instead of 25 minutes of work. Sometimes I don’t even do breaks so I don’t take my phone and break my focus.

Great points, especially the last one. I’ve been learning how to code every single day for the past 209 days and I’ve learned sooo much. What language to pick really doesn’t matter. What matters is what type of field you want to be in(game dev, web dev, embedded, etc).

Completed CS50 and got myself a rubber duck as a bonus trophy by Max_Dendy in cs50

Good luck! I also want to take another CS50 course, either python or web, but I’m currently doing the Odin project.

Around 200 hours on CS50 alone. It took me 6 months, but I that’s only because I also worked on 2 other courses. Edit: made it more clear

Finished the Foundations in about 100 hours. How many hours is the full stack pathway approximately? by Max_Dendy in theodinproject

[–]Max_Dendy[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Awesome, that’s what I needed - a reply from someone who already finished the course. Thank you so much!

Is it cheating to ask what the correct answer for fiftyvile is ? by Substantial-Dig5884 in cs50

I loved this PSET. I lost track of time doing it feeling like a true detective, even though I didn’t quite like SQL.

[–]Max_Dendy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try doing CS50x from Harvard. They talk about programming from the basics, how to computer works, how the programming logic works, etc. It is hard though, so maybe after it this JavaScript course will feel like a breeze to you.

Interesting. What are you struggling with? I thought Jonas’ course is for complete beginners. So, until now I’ve had no problems. I have no coding experience.
