I'm happy for you journey Jonnie! It was nice to read all the progress throughout your journey and the decision makings you make up to this point.
I do find it interesting on how people approach this self-taught journey. For me, I have been self-taught for a bit over a year and I haven't spent a penny on courses, books, etc.
I stopped chasing a tech position and decided to start my own startup, working on my MVP now. All because being a developer helped me to open new path on what values I can give to the world. Will DEV be what I want to do in future? not sure yet.
Maybe you could ask yourself how can you provide value going through this developer journey and why? Is it just for the money? then get skilled up making things that can help others or to get hired by FAANG asap.
If for other reason, maybe start thinking of your life and passions. See if combining those things can trigger new startups or just new creative path for you. That's how I came up with mine! I hope my feedback can somewhat be helpful :)
Thanks for the comment. I appreciate the kind words. I definitely have some ideas on what I want to provide. My first step is to get to a point where I can confidently build apps. I'm happy to hear that you found your path. Best of luck to you also!
