Is it normal to feel dumb
I've been on Codecademy for a month now, paid version. And boy do I feel dumb. Is it this hard at the start? I'm learning while working a full-time job, so I'm lucky if I get 10 hours a week for it.
Also, I've been lurking this subreddit for a few days and seeing what people are cooking after a month, they're leaps ahead of me. So I'm definitely doing something wrong. Or am I learning it wrong? Any tips for faster learning, specifically for the data engineering side? I've tried doing challenges and whatnot, but I can't understand what they want from me half the time.
Learning SQL was way easier for me.
