Recurse Center

I loved reading this! I'm going to be attending the RC for the Winter 1 batch this year (starting October 31st) and I'm really excited for it, so it was great to read about your experiences. I can relate to your application process and struggling with imposter syndrome, as I'm a new, self-taught dev, too. It's good to hear that the community at RC and the whole experience there is supportive and helps with overcoming this anxiety. Thanks for sharing your experiences and hope to chat to you at RC some time!

I've been considering applying for RC so I've been doing some research and came across this. This is so wonderful! You answered some of the questions I had and ones that I didn't know I had yet. lol Thank you so much for sharing! I am a professional dancer and I went to college for computer science while dancing full time (plus other random jobs). I somehow managed to keep both careers going at the same time for a little while but it got to be too much so I put the programming on hold while I continued to dance my heart out and promised myself I'll come back later. Now is later and much has changed in the industry but I'm ready to make the leap back in! I'm in that same spot you were with the hesitation of submitting the written application... Gahhh! I'm going to have to pull the trigger soon!
