Great article! I totally feel you and agree with you on everything. Our conversation also cheered me up as I didn't have to listen the typical stuff I read on social networks all the time. It was real and honest. Thanks so much! And by the way, congratulation for getting into Tech!

Great work!

I've personally noticed most of the people that make the claim that you will become a developer in "3-6 months" ..also tend to want to sell you a course or method to get there. For every great "learn to code" resource out there, there are at least 3 more that are just poorly structured cash grabs that rely on the fact that their target audience has little means of gauging how useful their course really is -- especially at the very beginning of their journey. Its certainly not everyone, but enough for you to want to take note of it and be aware.

Yeah, that's true. I also see the combination of short time promise and selling something quite often.

Since I did not have money at that time there was no way to fall for this anyway. I made it without spending a single euro, I really want to make people aware of getting into tech is not how much money you spend but how hard you work, how you plan and structure your progress and being able to stay focused, motivated and consistent until you make it.
