Started with python...did nothing but waste time on tutorials.
Second year I joined a 1yr long bootcamp to learn web development HTML, CSS & JS along with the mern stack. I graduated having done 1 project called "think tank united" some website that allowed strangers to participate in a meeting n talk about world problems n come up with a solution in one hour.
Third & fourth year I gave up on my self.. no self respect, low standards n just a complete hatred for the job search process. I settled to learn the finnish language using courses at home and practice driving courses.
5th year I caught myself trying out new web dev tools, design tools, productivity apps and no code. I challenged myself to learn different languages and really get into it...
Still haven't found a job...
But I got into some school named hive.
Here's my plan.
Learn a low level language C.
Learn how to work with databases.
Establish some online presence, blogs, ux / ui design posts, record myself doing online challenges
Improve my linkedIN n Try freelance.
My domain of focus is going to be web dev
Feel free to leave any advice. Im 24 n feeling like I'm lost
I most certainly focused on the wrong things.
I dont blame that only for why my life sucks.
Today, I've come to love building things and not relying on tutorials(they hold your hand and don't force you to research, plan, design, document or test anything your problem solving mind ideates). It's a completely different game compared to when I started. Today I have friends that I try to join on a zoom call n do small challenges together. ๐ ..man..if only I had done abit of brainstorming and learned better...I'd be very far by now ๐ญ
