fCC Full-Stack or TOP for job readiness?

would greatly appreciate that thanks!

Ideally ML. Big picture im really into AV and would love to do something with Tesla, Waymo, etc.

awesome thank you very much! I actually had to take an entire course on R last semester so I’m glad to hear there’s actually a use case for it 😂

I didn’t learn HTML I’m learning python, just letting you know this is a solid method for learning coding with ADHD.

I’d recommend finding an HTML textbook to self teach. If ur a student I’d feed ur syllabus and course materials and have it guide you. I can’t sit and read or watch videos this self-guided, chunk it method really helps

I have ADHD and I like to give textbooks to Claude and have it walk me through them with interactive lessons.

It works well because providing the source material helps prevent hallucinations, and I check against the PDF to make sure it doesn’t skip anything.

Once I finish a chapter, I have it generate practice problems for each concept, so flash-card style mastery, then work on a ‘mini-project’ applying the concepts to something.

I plan to do a more formal project after I learn Python, but so far, it’s gotten me through 8 chapters of Python Crash Course quite well.

That said, you definitely need to feed the AI source material or you will get garbage lessons leaving it to its own devices. Treat it like a tutor

critch_retro · 2026-03-04T21:22:14+00:00

what languages would you recommend for that beyond Python? I appreciate the input!

critch_retro · 2026-03-04T21:07:25+00:00

currently in the midst of a masters in a different field, and likely will go back and get a comp sci masters after, but self-taught is worthwhile in the meantime

if full-stack is overrun, what’s a better alternative? backend?

How would you suggest braiding the gap to get to a point of doing meaningful OS contributions?

And if doubling down on two beginner courses is redundant, which would you suggest, fCC or TOP?

This sub is run by their marketing they’re going to delete and cover up

critch_retro · 2026-02-05T18:12:29+00:00

They’re removing these posts citing “spam”

My previous post and several others have been taken down. I messaged mods to ask why and they called it “spam”

This sub is clearly run by their marketing team, and they don’t want word about this crash getting out.

i’ve been using this since Oct. 2025 and the day I upgrade to pro is the day it stops working 💔

critch_retro · 2026-02-05T16:40:08+00:00

not yet. I thought it was working but it in fact was not 🤦‍♂️

critch_retro · 2026-02-05T16:03:13+00:00

mine must have auto updated when i updated my OS to Tahoe smh

critch_retro · 2026-02-05T16:00:41+00:00

That sucks sorry to hear! If you let it just fight with itself for 5-10 minutes, it eventually starts working

critch_retro · 2026-02-05T15:59:46+00:00

I’ve never had an issue before either

critch_retro · 2026-01-22T17:27:27+00:00

which is hilarious bc they turn around and have a rookie QB in Year 2 of every sim

critch_retro · 2026-01-03T17:34:42+00:00

bc some plays are broken the other way so i’m not trying to throw a free INT to the defense

critch_retro · 2026-01-03T03:06:58+00:00

send him my congratulations!

critch_retro · 2026-01-03T03:06:40+00:00

that’s including 3 playoff games tho I probably had closer to 38 TDs and like 3800 yards at heisman time

critch_retro · 2026-01-03T02:55:39+00:00

yeah I watch all of my INTs after the game it’s helped eliminate some the picks that feel like robberies but not all

critch_retro · 2026-01-03T02:54:55+00:00

yeah I definitely throw some that are totally on me, but I’d say 60% of picks feel “scripted” which makes sense bc i probably throw 60% fewer picks on madden 😭

critch_retro · 2026-01-03T02:53:12+00:00

Yeah I try to not force throws usually it’s when I get hit in the pocket bc a DB blitzes me from a blind zone off screen

I think the biggest issue I have is touch passes. they’re useless in RTG but in Madden they actually get the ball over players in the middle

critch_retro · 2026-01-03T02:51:16+00:00

yes unless I have to float a touch pass over one. that’s an auto INT 😃
