haha, I guess it same for everyone regardlesss of the field they are in or were working in previously. You're absolutely right on the fast-paced learning point, you're always a beginner every other day in the software dev field. With so many frameworks/libraries to learn and experiment with it becomes overwhelming very quickly when you're not knowing where to go.

I seriously started learning in 2020, and because of the lockdowns got very consistent in following the schedule of the courses I was taking. Grasping one concept after the other, however, the real challenge is building stuff with what you learned.

Being from the medical field can give you benefits as well. Most of the cool projects I see are built by an amalgamation of contrasting skills, same for you. Maybe using a medical dataset to run AI models to predict things, etc. Data viz. is cool too. Tons of possibilities.

Good luck to you, share your devlog here, I'll follow. Stay connected.
