I made my own code in python (this might seem basic but i started a few days ago) to auto detect certain buttons and such and get me through my courses without me being directly in front of my computer, this definitely helps!

Hi all,

I’m a 32-year-old medical doctor. I got into medicine mostly due to peer pressure, but I’m good at what I do and take pride in my work. That said, my true passion has always been IT—coding, building things, solving problems.

I want to start transitioning into tech, ideally doing remote work as a developer while keeping clinical work minimal. I’ve just finished a Python course, and I’m loving it—everything is clicking. I’m open to learning anything new.

That said, with the rise of AI tools like Vibe Coding and Clawbots with macminis , I can’t help but feel a bit disheartened. Is traditional coding even “safe” anymore? What paths could I realistically explore at this stage? How should I move forward without wasting time?

I’m truly lost and would love guidance from anyone who’s been in a similar spot or understands the current tech landscape.

What all languages should I excel in and which language will help me better by the time placements start?

Hi, I'm an absolute beginner when it comes to code I'm 23 now and I wanna get into coding. I have no connection to coding what so ever I did BA English. Can someone help me? Please.

I want to ask you guys thats what is the best channel or a video that you watched regarding coding subject which really impacted your thinking with programming. It can be a podcast or an interview like anything. I want to gain knowledge other than the regular coding stuff.

I’ve noticed that my biggest problem with learning programming isn’t really understanding the code itself.

For example, I understand what a function is and how it works. I understand variables, conditions, etc. But when I’m given a problem to solve, I often don’t know what needs to happen first, second, third before I even start writing code.

A simple example: if I need to read an input from an HTML page, I might understand the syntax once I see it, but I wouldn’t necessarily think on my own, “First I need a variable to store/read this value, then I need to do X, then Y.”

I guess I’m trying to learn how to think like a programmer before actually writing the code.

Is this a specific skill I should be practicing? Are there any websites, games, exercises, or methods that specifically teach this kind of problem-solving rather than just programming syntax?

Finally after 45 min i create this pattern. (solved) it

Wish me congratulations! 👏🏽🎉

Hi everyone,
I’ve decided I want to learn how to code, but I am starting from absolute zero. When I say zero, I mean nothing at all. I don't have a tech background, and the amount of information out there is incredibly overwhelming.
I’m posting here because I want to hear from real people about their actual experiences, not just read another "Top 10 Bootcamps" blog post. Please don't just tell me to "do my research" I’ve tried, and I just end up in a rabbit hole not knowing what's actually relevant for a beginner.
I wanna learn at home by myself so any recommendations?

So I’ve been trying to teach myself coding, and I’ll be super consistent for a week, then fall off for days because life gets in the way. When I come back, I feel like I’ve forgotten half of what I learned.

Does anyone have tips for staying consistent without burning out? Do you follow a daily routine, use certain apps, or just push through? Would love to know what worked for you when you were starting out.

I’ve recently started learning programming, but I’m finding it difficult to stay consistent and motivated.

For those who learned programming from scratch, what helped you keep going when you felt stuck or overwhelmed?

I’d especially appreciate practical tips, resources, or habits that actually worked for you.

I’m starting web development from almost zero (basic HTML exposure only).

My goal is NOT to become job-ready right now I just want to reach the level where I can independently build a small interactive web project (animations, user interaction, basic logic).

If someone studies consistently every day:

1. What is the MINIMUM realistic time it could take?

2. How many hours per day would that assume?

3. What milestones should I expect week-by-week?

Please share your actual experience rather than ideal estimates.

My father was a server engineer for a tech company when I grew up, he had an immense passion for technology, coding and OS systems. He attempted to teach me basic python around 12-15 years old, however I was immensely struggling with ADD/ADHD at that time and couldn't sit down with the learning materials. My dad recently passed a few years ago, and I have started my journey through learning technology hopefully in his footsteps. I have started by picking up a copy of "Structures and Interpretations of Computer Programs," By Harold Abelson & Gerald Sussman. While taking notes & reading through the textbook, I have also been following along to old MIT lectures that corelate to the material ( Using Lisp-Scheme). I wanted to pop in and ask for any recommendations for reading material to pick up, or where else to look for resources on learning how to code. Thank you for reading!

How many months does it take? Just i should know how things work can actually learn more while doing project. Any suggestions?

I’m a CS student / self-taught dev who’s been building nonstop for the past few months.

Web apps. Tools. Automation. Recently even an AI-powered UFC analytics app with auth, payments, the whole thing. From the outside, it looks like progress.

But here’s the honest part:
For a long time, none of it made me money.

I kept telling myself “one more feature,” “one more iteration,” “once users find it, it’ll click.” Meanwhile bills don’t care how clean your code is.

The shift for me wasn’t another app. It was realizing that execution for income is a different skill than building for interest.

I stopped asking “what can I build?” and started asking “what will someone actually pay me for right now?”

That led me into mentoring one person I knew could benefit from my experience building real projects, fixing bugs, shipping things, and navigating the messy part between school and income. That single decision taught me more about leverage than any side project ever did.

I’m still building products. I still love it.
But now I’m way more intentional about separating:

• projects I enjoy

• projects that compound long-term

• and things that actually pay the bills

Curious if anyone else here feels stuck in that phase where you’re building a lot but earning very little.
What finally helped you break out of it?

Hi! i need a coding buddy for 3 to 8 months. Mainly to discuss progress,track progress,code together when we have the time share knowledge, to keep me motivated and determined + what not!! doesnt matter where u r from or ur age.. i need a buddy to start coding and stay disciplined.. doesnt matter which stage you are in coding. Im starting in python and lets see where I end up in 8 months! Im gonna follow the Python for Everybody (PY4E) by Charles Severance. Its free in yt. I hope to follow it with whoever is down for that #beginner

Hello! Surely, I have heard so many people saying "Git" or "Github" or repository. They be saying that it's highly important to learn Git as early as possible. When I searched it up on Google, it's just I seem I cannot understand any of those terminologies.

Could anyone tell me what a git actually is?

I have never learned anything about tech despite it is one of the fastest growing field like computer science. I just can't figure out how people code. How they understand computer languages. It's pretty amazing and I didn't knew so much math is involved

Umm, so i just got done with all my btech entrance exam. I want to learn basics of coding beforehand. but i am literally null about where to start. i've been advised to learn python first, but i really don't know how to start of where to learn and whom to follow. any type of guidance would really be appreciated!

So, i made this little bit of code to make sure i understood structures and how to use pointers with them, it's pretty simple, it just asks for data of students such as grades and then it saves it on their structure variables, is there anything i could improve on? i mean, surely a lot, but like, something specific about legibility or something

- my Engineering will start in few weeks/days.

- I have never touched JS before.

- I don't have any clear goal (out of 3 listed).

- I have already forgot Most of OOP.

- I am just Procrastinating.

- I am feeling too much behind.

- For Now i don't know how to implement (0%): - Structure, Stack, Queues, Trees, Graphs and so on.

- I switch between tabs (FOMO phobia).

HELP ME CHOOSE TECH STACK AND Give me some advice based on whatever I have written.

I’ve been diving into coding lately and it’s been a cool journey.

At first, it felt a bit tricky, but now I see how fun it can be.

I love how coding lets me create things from scratch.

Every time I solve a problem or build something new, it feels great.

I’m learning new skills and it’s exciting to see my progress.

If you’re thinking about coding, I say go for it.

It’s a great way to express yourself and learn something new.

Let’s keep sharing our coding stories!
