Learning to code from scratch (2023), Bootstrapping ideas

Oct 13, 2023

My first comment on this platform! Loved this article, Juraj. As someone about to embark (in 3 days!), on a year-long coding bootcamp, it's good to know what the future holds! Any other words of wisdom for a total beginner and a late starter?

Yes! Focus on bringing value - i.e. build things that bring value. And then give it to your friends and family, so they use it.

At first, they will hate it. And then you try to understand their pain-points.

By understanding that and iterating, you'll make something meaningful.

Then you have something great to put on your CV

Thank you Juraj Malenica In terms of learning, and soaking in a new subject matter, any advice? I suppose patience and practice would be it.

Exactly. Now you have to grind and give it your all. But to make that sustainable, you need to love what you do. Then it's not a choir or work, it's fun
