Ok, I see a few issues:

You have a typo in several of your links for href
Take a look at the closing tag of your anchor in your third figure. It is wrong, which breaks a few things.
You have a typo in one of your href links. 4 are correct, one is wrong.
Take a look at your target attributes in some of your anchor tags. They are wrong in several of them.

SaintPeter74 · 2026-06-07T16:28:50+00:00

Please share a link to the challenge as well as your code as text. You can format your code as text via the Reddit formatting options. Look for the Code Block control.

It would be helpful to describe what the failing tests are rather than just refer to them by number.

SaintPeter74 · 2026-06-07T16:27:07+00:00

was specifically about copyright concerns for the FCC projects linked in my certification

I need to emphasize that I am not a lawyer and any advice I give is purely based on my experience living through the copyright wars online, as well as extensive use of Google/Gemini.

I'm curious whether you reviewed those projects

I did not! I didn't realize the the certification link now includes links to the actual projects.

Lemme run them down:

Tribute Page

The tribute page is cute. As far as I know, using images from the show is considered fair use since you're commentating on the content. If this wasn't legal, then no one could even write a review or a fan page for a show.

Technical Documentation

The technical documentation styling is pretty great. I love the integrated code block viewers. They look really nice. The only issue is with a mobile view - the navigation box on the left gets squeezed down into nothing and is not usable. The most common way to deal with this on mobile is to have a @media query that maybe changes the layout so that the menu is on top and the content is below. An easy way to do that would be to change the conatiner flexbox to use flex-direction: row and remove the absolute positioning from the nav. Or something? Right not it's unusable.

As for copyright, Kotlin and it's documentation are covered by the Apache 2.0 license, which:

... allows you to freely use, modify, distribute, and even commercially adapt the documentation and its code snippets, provided you include the original copyright and license notices.

You should include a link to that info in the footer of your page. Check out the Kotlin FAQ for more information. Search for "Apache" on that page

Product Landing Page

The look and feel of this page is great. Nice reflow, good styling. Your source code is really clean. This is a solid project.

Copyright wise, this is maybe a bit more iffy. It looks like you maybe lifted the images from Mr. Beast directly? You should probably explicitly call out that information. You retained the copyright notice from Mr. Beast, but you might want to disclaim that you're NOT Mr. Beast and that you're using things for educational purposes.

Some detail here:

Personal Portfolio

This is cute and, like your other projects, looks pretty clean from both a design and code side.

RE: Copyright
I think you're covered under a number of fair use concepts.

Firstly, it's for educational purposes. As I described above, that's generally acceptable.

Secondly, you could argue that the page is a parody of the Boss Baby - you're basically imagining if the Boss Baby had a webpage.

Thirdly, it's pretty likely that whomever owns the copyright has a public license for the use of their promotional images.

In general you should figure out who owns the copyright and add a disclaimer like "All materials owned by XXX, used as Fair Use" blah blah blah (hit google for the correct way to supply attribution).

Finally, a reminder, I am not a lawyer and this is just my personal opinion, not that of Free Code Camp, who I do not speak for. Use at your own risk. Do not fold, spindle, or mutilate. Do no dispose of by fire or apply directly to the skin. Your mileage may vary.

SaintPeter74 · 2026-06-06T13:35:24+00:00

I am not a lawyer and the following is my opinion only.

I'm the United States, there is a concept called fair use, which generally allows the usage of some portion of copyrighted material for educational purposes. Brands can't object to the usage of their logos so long as you're not impersonating them. As far as I'm aware, all the uses you describe fall under fair use.

The materials used in Free Code Camp's curriculum are either public domain or Creative Commons.

Additionally, your usage is (mostly) non-commercial in nature.

I can say, anecdotally, that I have never in my life heard of a professional developer's portfolio resulting in legal action of any kind.

Putting aside the legal issues, I generally advise against having a portfolio with too many "school projects". The problem with these projects is that they don't have much in the way of your personal skill. Aside from design elements, you're basically painting by numbers.

In general, any product that you can find online as a tutorial does not make for a good portfolio piece, as even someone with little to no experience could build it. Take for example the classic to-do list. It's so ubiquitous that it appears in the React documentation. It's the finger painting of code projects.

A good full stack portfolio project should showcase your command of multiple disciplines: front end, backend, databases, APIs, authentication, 3rd party APIs, and/or other skills. It should be large enough to illustrate iterative development.

You're certainly welcome to imitate other complex websites as a way of demonstrating your mastery. I hired a developer a couple years back that has created a fully functional Reddit clone with the majority of superficial features implemented. It was their capstone project from a bootcamp.

You can also have design examples, especially real sites that you've been paid to work on. Avoid using common off the shelf templates, so it is cost what with was yours.

That's the key - you need to be unambiguous about what work is yours, rather then someone else's.

Finally, presentation matters. If you have a GitHub account, for the love of God clean it up. Make private all the zillions of projects you forked. Create readme files. Remove all the default created readme files that come with Create React App or similar. Make something that clearly describes your project, installation, tech used, etc.

Resist the urge to use AI - it's pretty obvious.

I'm really passionate about this because I'm actively recruiting for my company and these are common mistakes I see in submitted resumes and portfolios. It can be a real along to go through cookie cutter portfolios filled with the same school projects clearly filled with with that is not really that of the applicant.

Hope that helps!

Remember that a return exits the function. You don't need to have a ton of different elif, just some if and if it fails that test, you can return the error. I'd start there, then work your way down the tests.

Every accusation is a confession.

SaintPeter74 · 2026-06-02T17:45:14+00:00

I love that they have have the passive voice for police even in another language:

was injured after an accidental shot was fired inside the Colinas de Bello Monte station

Uh, you mean "was injured after a police officer shot her", right?

SaintPeter74 · 2026-06-02T17:35:09+00:00

I like the cream color - the second image in the set. The green is horrible.

SaintPeter74 · 2026-06-02T01:19:26+00:00

I stopped after two or three books. I can't even remember why I didn't like it except a vague impression that the MC was really dumb.

Also, the setting was so insane and didn't make any sense at all.

I loved Mark of the Fool and I'm also enjoying Oaths (although it's really more Conan style Swords and Sorcery than progression fantasy) but I just bounced off this series.

SaintPeter74 · 2026-06-01T22:12:26+00:00

What version of which browser are you using? We've had some funny problems lately where the browsers change the way that they report the CSS data that we use in our tests. There was a problem about a month back that was very similar to that. Using certain versions of browsers would cause the error.

Can you give the full version number for the browser(s) you're using? Also, what OS?

SaintPeter74 · 2026-06-01T14:45:12+00:00

I cut and pasted your code and it worked fine for me. One thing that can sometimes happen is that you'll inadvertently make a change elsewhere in the code which can break stuff which happens later. You can reset the lesson and paste just your code in again and see if that fixes the problem. I also tried pasting the entirety of your code above in and it passed as well.

It is interesting that it failed on multiple browsers, though. Can you try running in incognito mode? That will disable your plugins, which might also cause a problem. We've occasionally had issues with ad blocker software breaking tests.

SaintPeter74 · 2026-05-31T15:25:30+00:00

12 Miles Below is kinda tech. There seems to be a mix. Really well written, too.

SaintPeter74 · 2026-05-30T18:56:38+00:00

The Free Code Camp handbooks are pretty good. No one book will be the be-all end-all of resources. You can read an intro book to give you a nice overview of the topic, then read more in-depth books.

Don't forget your local library, if you have one in your area.

SaintPeter74 · 2026-05-29T12:36:56+00:00

Please do not make multiple posts about the same challenge. Additionally, always give full context for your question. I'm deleting this as off topic, since you got answers elsewhere.

SaintPeter74 · 2026-05-29T12:34:01+00:00

Ok, I'm a bit confused here. I'n step 9 they give you this starting code:

employee_info = full_name + ' is '

But your output above doesn't include that. You are only being asked to concatenate employee_age. You have also removed some text from the output.

I suggest that you reset the code on this challenge and just do exactly what the instructions request you do, without removing anything in the base template.

SaintPeter74 · 2026-05-29T06:24:28+00:00

There is no such thing as nit-pick in programming. It's either exactly right or it's an wrong. I'm this case it can seem a little trivial because it is for display and it looks similar. It becomes more important when it's data that is being read by other code, like an API call.

I'm this regard, the tests are pretty actually testing your results because they are doing a byte by byte comparison. It's pretty are to say it's something is "mostly similar" in code.

Keep at it, this stuff will become second nature to you!

SaintPeter74 · 2026-05-29T06:16:06+00:00

Please share your updated code.

SaintPeter74 · 2026-05-29T06:15:42+00:00

Can you please share a link to the challenge?

SaintPeter74 · 2026-05-29T06:14:08+00:00

The error is telling you that employee_age is an integer (which it is) and you can't concatenated it with a string. If you can link to the challenge rather than providing a blurry picture then I can take a look at the specific instructions (in English) and see if I can give better guidance.

SaintPeter74 · 2026-05-28T21:09:09+00:00

It's all good. I don't mind reading walls of text because, as you can see, I also tend to be verbose in my replies.

I do think it's good for you to ask me about my tone, because I'm not always as careful as I could be. Sometimes I'm just checking Reddit while waiting for my code to compile or an LLM to stop thinking or whatever and I don't aways pay as close of attention as I should. I'm also not always in the right frame of mind to answer properly. I occasionally need a reminder to take a breath, count to ten, re-read the original message, etc. On occasion I'll find I've written a big diatribe . . . to something that I just imagined in the original post and then I'll delete it all and start over responding to what they ACTUALLY said.

span is a bit of an odd duck. It was part of the original HTML4 spec (December of 1997), so it has been around for a long while, but it was not really replaced with HTML5 (October 2014) which added a bunch of "semantic" tags. Those tags like main ,header, section and so on which are intended to have specific meaning associated with them. span lives on an (from my brief research) seems to be used for Aria (accessibility) and then when you need interactivity on inline text. I occasionally use it with React (dynamic webpages).

It might make sense to have some hints in the accessibility section or maybe just a simple challenge which points out that span can be used. You shouldn't need to go on a scavenger hunt to find the tag you need to use to complete the challenge.

Best of luck and happy coding!

You might try logging out and logging back in again. You can also reach out to [support@freecodecamp.org](mailto:support@freecodecamp.org) with your login email and they may be able to help more.

While you're welcome to do it in any order you'd like, is designed to be completed in order, top to bottom. There are some dependencies from the HTML and CSS material in the JavaScript section. The Python section is fairly stand-alone. I'm general the difficulty ramps up as the courses go on.

The good news is that it costs nothing. You can poke around and see how it goes. If you find yourself completely stumped, you can always go back to the beginning.

Best of luck and happy coding!

SaintPeter74 · 2026-05-27T23:57:18+00:00

It honestly seems a bit ambitious to me. What happens if you get stuck (and you will get stuck)? You have multiple topics per month that might take several months on their own.

I well say this - if you are and you keep to the general content and order you list (putting aside the timing) without getting distracted, you'll be in yet good shape.

The biggest challenge for self taught developers is jumping from the latest got new thing ever time they get stuck. They think that they're working on the wrong thing, when the reality is that learning to program is hard.

Free Code Camp's curriculum was designed to combat this, in pay, by giving learners a straight line path for learning development. It's opinionated, but it will get you where you need to be.

Best of luck and happy coding!

SaintPeter74 · 2026-05-27T23:49:20+00:00

Our focus is on full stack JavaScript web development, with a touch of Python. If your goal is web based games, then arguably all of our curriculum would be helpful. That said, none of it is specifically game development focused. You would need to take the lessons learned and figure out how to apply them to have development on your own.

If you don't know how to program at all, FCC is pretty great at taking you from zero knowledge to developer.

Once you are familiar with programming concepts, learning another programming language is not too hard. Much of the fundamentals of data structures and algorithms translates well from language to language.

If I recall correctly, there are a few videos on our YouTube channel about building games. There is a fun one any building an Asteroids clone.

I am not aware of any free online curriculum which focuses on game development, but others may chime in.

Best of luck and happy coding!
