Thanks for using the name ‘Aysha.’ It’s nice to see an alternative to yet another Alice or Albert.
Thank you for this great write up.
I purchased Interview Cake last year after blowing an otherwise great interview when I discovered just how important big o and algorithms are. I didn't have a clue. Now I do.
Thanks for such a great service. 👍
I struggle with this a LOT. That said, Seth Godin (you know who he is, right? If not, he's an excellent writer!!) wrote a post on it that is one of the best takes on it I've ever seen. sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2... definitely worth a read
Thanks for such a thoughtful write-up! I wish I'd known these things long, long ago (or even remembered them more often). I'm really digging your illustrations - they do a good job putting things into perspective 💯
Thanks so much, this was really great for me! I'm always feeling like I'm not worthy of wanting to work in programming because I don't have a traditional university education but have instead been learning on my own. I feel like people with university background will always be better because I assume they'll know more. But your post has made me feel better about this.
:)
The "academic" side can call still be learned, even without a university background. It's easier than you think!
How are you with data structures and algorithms? We put together this helpful guide that explains things from the ground up:

Thanks for the reply and motivation :). And that looks like a great resource, I will definetely use it when I get a bit more knowledge in programming! Thanks again :)!
Thank you so much for writing this down. :)
