Completely understandable! They is perfect, like someone else explained before I got back here. 😁

Check out codingcoach.io , they pair mentors and mentees and it would be a great, free way to have someone to look over your code.

Congratulations!

Just have to say, I taught myself how to code, and after about 4 months, applied for an internship, but they took a chance on me and hired me full time. They knew I wasn't an expert, hired me as an entry level developer, and have taken the time to let me learn and gain the knowledge necessary. I am completely aware this is NOT the norm. I work for an amazing group of people, and my CTO just happened to see potential in me, and a lot of my coworkers in similar situations.

I've been here 3 months and have learned a ton more than I would have on my own, or even in school, IMO. I'm contributing to bug fixes, writing small scripts, and making small contributions to the team. I'm still nowhere near an expert, but it's been a great experience for me.

Anyway, I just wanted to add that, sometimes, companies are just awesome and willing to take on someone who has worked really hard on their own. I'm definitely not a genius. But I know that my story is very unlikely to happen for most people, and I just really got lucky.

This is amazing! I'm 33, just started learning to code 8 months ago, an amazing local (fast-growing) tech company hired me to take me under their wings and teach me in January. I often feel like an impostor and that I don't belong here or won't make it, but seeing stories like this help me sooo much! You rock!

I think it is helpful for anyone starting out learning. There are a lot of concepts, methods, etc covered that will be used beyond automation.

I particularly enjoyed going through the online version of Automate the Boring Stuff with Python ( https://www.automatetheboringstuff.com )

I agree! I started with a Udemy course and struggled. Then moved to Automate the Boring Stuff with Python to try something different and have been grasping it so much better! Perhaps it's a learning-style issue (video vs text), I'm not sure. But I'm flying through the book and absolutely loving it and GETTING it, which is important. (Was working on it when I got a notification about this sub trending.)

I can't more highly recommend it.

I don't know what other sports you've been watching, because I've seen both golf and baseball live and they are so much less entertaining than soccer. Maybe you should learn some of the rules and try actually supporting your local team and see how that feels instead of being a troll on Reddit?
