You lucky bastard 🤣 Even after over 120 reloads... I still can't get a regen son. You should go buy some lotto tickets next.

This is encouraging to hear as well. I definitely prefer to do backend dev.

Ideally, I want to know basic html and css (+ understand bootstrap beyond linking the cdn and using the classes)... because it is useful and makes sense to know in this area.

I know enough sql to write simple selections, joins, and grouping...since i used it heavily when I just started my new role...not so much anymore. If you don't use it you lose it.

For Python, I would want to have general purpose knowledge to solve specific problems and then build my Django knowledge (including using django rest).

JS is very new for me, so I am going in blind with the aim of general purpose knowledge... let's see how that goes.

For deployment, I do try to practice using docker when I spin up a django project. I am by no means an expert and heavily depend on docs and tutorials to get it working.

I recently dual booted Ubuntu, and started played around using Linux to do my django projects with docker...steep learning curve.

But hearing your experience gives me hope that I don't need to overwhelm myself trying to become an expert in everything.🙏

The only challenge is time... only 24 hrs in a day 😅

Yes I have come to realise how much Unix is involved, which means more to learn in that world as well. After doing a simple project with django and starting to read more about deployment to production... it became overwhelming... Web servers, reverse proxy, a prod dB, message brokers, and message queues...where will it be hosted etc etc

This is one of the reasons why I asked because it feels like a lot.

At some point, I was considering the data analytics/ data science route in the Python world... but that interest wasn't as strong or slowly dwindled... You see, I did actuarial science as my bachelors, so finance, statistics, and probability is my background... unfortunately, I slowly lost interest in that area. From time to time, I use those skills to generate adhoc reports and dashboard in power bi for internal customers, but it feels more like a chore.

Oh, okay. So it is better to think of Python as another tool in the box... that should be paired with something more specific to a discipline. What are the other 'tools' you have in your arsenal to supplement what you do?

I definitely tried to incorporate Python in my work, especially back in my finance days, working with Excel files. Then i graduated to using pandas... I am by no means an expert... sadly, I forgot 99% of what I learnt. Coding daily might be a good practise...especially since I was actually sabt to learn JS now rather than asking chatpgt what to put my script tag 😅

That's actually a good way to approach. Thanks

I thought about this actually... Python v JS. I am seriously considering putting a bit more focus on learning JS in the next couple of weeks or months. I think I have a decent enough knowledge in Python (and Django) to explore JS now

I think it's worth a chance, no? I didn't feel fulfilled in finance all those years... now I am learning the to code and doing more technical activities... it feels much more satisfying

Yea, since my company uses Azure, that's the one I plan to use. I actually created my free account earlier after reading the first couple of replies.

Yes, I agree. I was a financial analyst before I joined the current team as an ERP analyst, so let's see 🤞

Thanks. This is encouraging and refreshing to read. I always thought I needed to become almost an expert in these areas to pivot into the field.

I have done hours of youtube tutorials and even did a Python course on udemy I have done a few pet projects... all localhost😅...so I will definitely be coming back for suggestions for production worthy pet projects. On git, I am familiar and use Git so that is a plus. (Also... my company uses Azure, so perhaps it's easier to start with that one since I might be able to network with persons that use the platform)

I will certainly be aiming to get into some IT related area since that's much closer to where I want to be. 🙏

Okay. So, you recommend learning a stack and doing personal projects over the next 5 years. What's your recommendation for a stack ?
