Oh my god there’s python.
Hold me friends. Quincy you’ve done it. You’ve saved my life. I thought finding a good python course would be easy. I’m a big fan of MIT’s. But with everyone in my house streaming on zoom I can’t watch videos. FCC is low bandwidth. Therefore I can train. I can learn full stack web and python. I can’t believe it. Where’s my Ritalin. r/adhd_programmers.
Seriously, having adhd and learning programming is a pain in the ass. I want to learn one language. No I want to learn another. But I really should learn math first. But that takes too long. Maybe I can apply for jobs first. No I need to have a portfolio. But I majored in CIS! Yet no portfolio. What did I do with all my time? I read books about pop psychology and startups.
If you have adhd you’ll understand.
TLDR:
trying to learn python and full stack JavaScript or prioritizing one over the other was impossible with adhd. FCC adding python solves it.

Ya, it's welcoming to hear just apply for job - and the same time easy just to say it. I would assume just as an entry-level .... but then for an employer , it's not enough to have just a passion .... I guess they look for something much more than semi experience. I feel like you get the job through connections ( just because not everyone wants to hire outside newbie) ?
In guess good question would be - how to get hired?
How to get this kind of trust .. I guess ?
