Hey Hashnode community ๐, I'm Quincy Larson, the teacher who founded freeCodeCamp.org, a nonprofit community that helps you learn to code by building projects.
I will be answering your questions live on Hashnode AMA on 8th April at 3 PM GMT / 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET / 8:30 PM GMT.
Ask me anything about:
you are doing great work by creating free code camp like platform for all of us <a href="couponseye.com/tutorial/how-to-fix-hacked-androidโฆ to fix hacked android phone</a>. if we have any doubt in any of the topics we will contact you .
Hey Quincy, thanks for doing this AMA.
How important is it to have an audience before even launching a product? I am currently working on my project but recently started growing a Twitter audience in my free time. And I am still wondering if it's worth it to put a lot of effort into growing an audience.

Big fan of your work with FCC and previously when you had started blogging daily. Ah, the good ol' days.
That's related to my question today. #COVID19 has hit us badly, many many folks I know were laid off and others are still on the edge of it all. I wanted to ask that what in your opinion are most of the code newbies or people laid off looking for nowadays. I ask this from my own perspective of a full-time open-sourcerer and an indie maker โ who wants to help. Your insights here would go a long way.
Peace!
Hello,
How have you got the courage to start freecodecamp? If I wonder about doing something like tihs, it scares me a little and the same questions come always up like:
What if no one is going to like it? What if someone gets jealous and tries to undermine my work? What if I did something wrong and everyone just follows it?
I know it sounds pessimistic and that there is much more gain in it than negativity, but I am really curious how did you manage to push these thoughts away.
Thank you in advance for your response!
Hi Quincy,
What do you think of companies that offer Technology Consultant roles in which you receive unpaid 8-12 week training then working a two year contract with one or two of their clients?
There are many companies with such a business model in the UK and I just wanted your thoughts.
Many thanks, Elena
Hi Quincy!,
I'm a fan! Thanks for all you do for us self-learners and beyond. I have a question. I'm always trying to prioritize all the tech blogs, vlogs, tutorials and tweets. I have a backlog of great information I want to get to but I feel like I can't because I'm not done with a specific tutorial or video. Any suggestions on how find patience and stay on track? Hope you and your family continue to be safe!

Long time fan of FCC here.
What have been your greatest lessons from starting FCC?
If you were to start FCC over again, what would you do differently this time?
Any advice for those looking to start something similar to FCC in the future?
What does your day to day look like and how do you schedule/plan things (AKA: how do you stay productive)?
What is/was your biggest influence in starting FCC?
Hi Quincy,
In your opinion, what will be the top 5 essential skills that distinguish a senior dev from a junior dev and that comes from maturity over years of practice?
Asking in a general sence like time estimation for a task, prioritising what to do first, etc.
Also, can you suggest some tips for growing these over the next few years.
Thank you for the AMA and everything you do for the community.
Hey Quincy ๐
Thanks for this and all that you do for the community!
Imposter syndrome is one problem developers face especially newbies, what is your experience with imposter syndrome, how did you manage yours, and what advice do you have for anyone facing this currently?
Hi Quincy,
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, so many companies have resorted to remote working as a safety precaution. For developers who have not tried this before, it has been a whole new learning process for them. What best practices have you been using that has helped you over time?
How many people have completed each of the certificates so far, including the Full Stack Developer certificate. Also has anyone completed all of the Coding Interview Prep Challenges yet?
Hi Quincy,
Thanks for doing this and creating freecodecamp. Such a fantastic resource!
A lot of folks are wondering about when the Python path will make it on freecodecamp. Any news?

What projects must have a JS Developer in his/her Portfolio.
What areas do you think will have growth and which abilities/knowledge should a junior developer learn to take advantage of the areas with the highest growth.
And what makes a clases or tutorial good? Which skill must have a teacher?
Thanks un advance!
I'm a B.Tech 4th year Computer Science student from India. I'm studying at a very bad College, So bad that my teachers don't even know to write algorithm for simple Linked List programs without looking at some book, they just come to class during their period to dictate notes that we(students) have to take down. I'm withering, good amount of my time is wasted in college.
I like coding but I'm not good at Mathematics, CS or anything. I'm lazy, and a super procrastinator, surf web a lot. I love to explore things. I'm very open-minded, romantic, creative, awkward, introverted and adventurous. I've made a few projects(like To-Do list for android, basic 2D platform game in Unity), so I know some coding.
I self study from various sites providing free courses. Over time, I've grown some interest in Mathematics. My dream is to pursue Research in CS. How do I move forward in life?
What do I have to do to win a Turing award?
Hey Quincy, thanks for doing this AMA.
How has this Coronavirus pandemic impacted your work and personal life balance? Are you still equally productive now as you were before? How do you think this pandemic is going to impact the developer eco-system in general?
