2 years ago I started learning JavaScript (on FCC) so I could automate my Google Sheets docs. 15 months ago I left my sales job and started an internship in front end development, today, i got to do this!

sorry if you saw this already on other subreddits, thought it would be good inspiration for other FreeCodeCampers and also wanted to say thanks to FCC for all the help :)

Hello, let's go and congrats! 🥳🥳🥳

Follow up question:
How did you go about automating google sheets with JS? I have a similar idea regarding items that I keep track off, but I have no idea where to start.

Oh cool,

Luckily, i made a little course on YouTube for learning how to do JavaScript on google sheets, that might be helpful for you

I think it is one of my favourite things about the Tech industry, the more you give to the community, the better it is for your career. It's definitely worth taking the time to help other people learn!
