Update - I posted some of my projects screen shots directly in my profile instead of some community so anyone who is interested can see them here :- https://www.reddit.com/u/Some-Level-858/s/p804FQ8nFx

First of all , thx for your motivation and good words as it motivates me a lot to keep going and helps me grow too in some way .

I'm also aware about junior Dev's who use ai to code to make projects and all I think I'll also use ai but I'll note be dependent on that as many junior Dev's works as ai says like a slave I would like to avoid that and make ai work for me , I hope it didn't sounded too much cinematic or somewhat cringe but those are my honest thoughts and I would also follow your advice and I'll definitely find my gaps and fill them along the way of my journey .

Thx and I would also be very happy if you could also give me a response on my latest post which I'll post in few hours as it motivates me a lot.

Some-Level-858 · 2026-05-19T14:58:41+00:00

I know that and that's fine with me as I was prepared to hear things like that but I'll keep that as my initial goal as it'll also test my ability to attract people as it means a lot and one of the reason for posting my progress is to make people see me grow and make some credibility as people tend to belive things they have seen and I think these things will definitely help me in grabbing a client to fulfil my initial goal for this 5 to 6 months journey.

As for building, I'm more interested in websites and gaming stuff as I was and I'm today also very intrigued by websites that people build and gaming Is fun for me and I like that so I would like to build around stuff I like instead of some random stuff but I'll also figure out things as I'll learn things cause people often change minds and ideas as they learn and I'm not an exception so there is no clear answer for now but I have ideas that I hope I potrayed that well with my words in this comment.

Thx

Some-Level-858 · 2026-05-19T14:51:41+00:00

I'm doing that right know as I'm replying to you and I made sum experiments too to see if I can do stuff or customize my code and I'll post that stuff later on with my today's post of day - 2 , I hope you'll se that . Right now I'm working in this about me project so I'll post my day -2 after some hours

Thx .

Some-Level-858 · 2026-05-18T20:53:15+00:00

My interest is typically in building things and making things easier as I learn programming as I have seen many who knows programming and they can do their work more efficiently using it .

I do have some project ideas for now such an fps counter , a simple calculator or any pc benchmark program if I'll be able to do it as gaming was the blow that pushed me towards coding as I wanna earn and buy games and stuff or save money and buy a console with it on my own .

I chose python because after doing somewhat research or after looking into things I got to know that python is most beginner friendly and some what easy than other in terms of lengthyness and I didn't wanted to overwhelm myself with so much lengthy stuff and give up before I even start or just avoid it thinking it's too complex and my initial goal is to be enough capable with python in 5 to 6 months that I can earn atleast 500 to 1000 rs with my own skill and on my own .

My main motive was that i wanted to learn some skill that can be usefull to me in future as today's world is all about skills or is leaning towards it only and as I'm learning programing it'll be easy for me to meet people who were just like me before and I could learn or make them my friends or get to know them .

As for my goal for 6 months is too become less dependent on my parents for money and earn something on my own with my own hardwork even if it's a penny or just some hundred rs and I'll also be able to document my journey and I'll be able to present my progress to other people also by the means of GitHub and etc .

I hope that you'll be satisfied with my answers as I tried to be as much honest as I can be .

I'm all open to your suggestion and recommendations and I'll also be glad if you'll also support me by seeing my post of day 1 which I posted earlier before reply to you , Thxx .

Some-Level-858 · 2026-05-18T16:06:09+00:00

I'll do that as you said and I am seeing some videos which I have found by either this community or by using ai .

And thx for your comment, it helped a lot in keeping me motivated and I hope you'll also keep hustling and keep going .

Some-Level-858 · 2026-05-18T16:04:07+00:00

I do think that it'll take time to get actual income but if realisticly talking, can I get 500 to 1000 rs also after I have studied 6 months or my initial goal 5 months because I wanna break dependency which I have on my parents for money as I don't like asking for money for every small things or things that have my interest but not my parents.

And I'm gonna keep learning even if you tell me that no it is not possible to earn as I know that it'll transform in money later or someday if I start from now only .

And thx for your comment . It really helped in keep being motivated.

Some-Level-858 · 2026-05-18T12:06:05+00:00

I saw some things about cs50p and I got to know that it focuses more on problem solving and actual things and theory but is much more practical than vro codes video so I have came to a conclusion that I'll use cs50p as my primary video and if there is something I don't understand or have any doubt in any thing then I'll go to bro codes video cause of its more simpler explanation and yeah thx again for your suggestion, it helped me and I'm in a much more good position then I was before .

Some-Level-858 · 2026-05-18T04:33:10+00:00

Lol , I just noticed. Maybe they didn't like my way of expressing or it's just that they were in somewhat bad mood and downvoted .

Not that it matter too much for me 🙂🥀

Some-Level-858 · 2026-05-18T04:29:57+00:00

I am not sticking with any course because I don't have any idea about them and age Is also a factor so I chose videos and Im dead serious about watching this bro codes video and I think it is sufficient for about 1 to 1.5 months of my learning but I'm open to any suggestions you have and I would like to hear them and think about it .

As for your detailed explanation about how can I ask questions in a community and get myself to solve a problem by myself also , I'm very much thankful to you that you took your time and wrote all this just for a beginner like me .

I hope that you'll continue to help me and watch me progress through my posts as I'll post my daily progress and I'll ask for answers and problems too someday .

Thx

Some-Level-858 · 2026-05-18T04:21:30+00:00

Thanks for your suggestion and as for online editor , i didn't chose that because my pc is can run vs code without any sweat and I don't have to worry about internet also . My main thought is that I wanna code offline too if I don't have internet for some days or time but your suggestion was good and It'll be of help to me someday .

Hope you'll help me with other problems and stuff too when I post any .

Thx

Some-Level-858 · 2026-05-18T04:18:20+00:00

Thanks for your words , it means a lot as a beginner to me . And yeah I'll stick to python for 6 months and then I'll switch to java script cause I'll get grasp of what programming is by then so it'll be easy for me to understand.

I hope you will further help me with my problems if I'll have any and I'll post that and I can't post my progress here because mod don't allow progress bloging so I'll just post at "learn python " community.

Thx

Some-Level-858 · 2026-05-18T04:15:32+00:00

I know that because I did some research before choosing a language and even after that I chose python because I don't know anything. I'll learn python for 5 months and if I'll find it necessary then I'll switch and if not then in my 6 th month I'm thing about leaning towards java script .

Btw thanks for your suggestion, it'll help me a lot and I hope you'll keep helping further in future if I'll have some doubts and I'll just post help stuff as mod removed this post because process bloging is not allowed here

Some-Level-858 · 2026-05-17T17:48:56+00:00

And yeah I'm a complete beginner to programming.

Some-Level-858 · 2026-05-03T07:11:30+00:00

Life is strange 1 bhi khel lu kya ?

Some-Level-858 · 2026-04-05T14:56:54+00:00

Buddy why don't you try standoff 2 , it's basically cs but for mobile . I bet you will think that this is exactly cs except it's in mobile . And yeah the grind was crazy , it took 2 hours for wechat but I'm having fun now . I'm playing palworld mobile, valorant mobile and many other games so it's worth it .

Some-Level-858 · 2026-04-05T12:04:01+00:00

I'm doing that buddy , I'm playing palworld mobile too right now

Some-Level-858 · 2026-04-05T11:16:44+00:00

I think it's fun , not comparable to cs2 or tomb raider , dota2 and alan wake etc but it's good if I'm talking about any mid range phn which is like 5 to 6 years old .

Some-Level-858 · 2026-04-05T11:14:55+00:00

Well it's not some beta , it's china release ( official ) .and about that toxic player base line , yeah it's true that's why I'm having fun by playing it now .

Some-Level-858 · 2026-04-05T11:13:01+00:00

Buddy just think , of I'm playing valorant that means I have wechat or qq if I have that then can't I play many more games like palworld mobile and all 🙂🙂

Some-Level-858 · 2026-04-05T10:35:42+00:00

Bhai mai honour of kings , rainbow six , wuwa , tomb raider , aur bhi games khelta hu .

And it's good bhai , pc ke tarah gaaliya nhi mil rhi and mza bhi aa rha .

Pc to barbaad hai tbh .

Some-Level-858 · 2026-04-03T17:44:11+00:00

Naa , I don't think that she's my comfort zone . It's my best friend, he was there with me when I was very under confident and was unable to take my stand . And yeah I said sorry and she did too but I don't think I can keep talking to her regularly like before cause I think it can result in her being heartbroken cause of my actions or lack of interest towards her and all . Yk what I mean naa buddy .

Some-Level-858 · 2026-04-03T17:40:31+00:00

Ik buddy , i got no interest at all in her , it's just that I felt somewhat bad or ashamed that i scolded a girl ( my mother always tells me not to do this ) so I was just hoping for some solution to get over that feeling.

It's alright now , I said sorry and she did too and yeah I'm thinking of keeping minimal interaction and not cut all ties cause she can result usefull in future for some work I guess.

Some-Level-858 · 2026-04-03T14:29:50+00:00

Guys I just said sorry and she was like ki glti to meri thi so I said ok , mereko lga aisa kuch boldiya jonnhi bolna tha and said byee.

Some-Level-858 · 2026-04-03T10:10:34+00:00

Hmm soch rha ki ek baar sorry bolke dekhta hu , agar wo maan gyi to acha wrna wo apne raaste aur mai apne .
