Hey all.
Where to begin?... I've been reading the forum for a week or 2 now, learning, soaking up wisdom like a sponge.
I want to learn programing and web development, because I'd like to change my job at the very least, but hopefully become a freelancer, so I can work from home. I'm 25 and I've been working full time for 2 years now. I don't like it, it sucks and it's not for me.
I'm really glad and grateful to have read the fastlane. So many things are begining to click, and I am becoming more sure of myself by the day, and I am ready to grow.
Thank you MJ.
I read many topics here, and watched countless videos about weather learning to code is a good choice in 2021, for the future, about how saturated the field is, about how wordpresses and other presses make producing a website a matter of dedicating a couple of hours in a weekend afternoon. I read about how you should outsource everything and learning difficult technical skills is a waste of time business wise.
I also read and listened to other opposing advice, like, programming is a very desirable skill, and that despite the competition there is always room for a business savvy digital expert.
I don't know, I don't care, I feel like I can't know what the truth is until I experience it for myself.
I was also considering joining Fox's Web Coaching program, and just jump in and focus on salesmanship, and on business, but I didn't feel congruence. I want to be sure of what I can make and I want to know what I can confidently deliver. I don't just want to wing everything. I know businesses and owners don't care about my code, but I care about my code, and I want to make sure it's good before I have the confidence to sell it.

I really enjoy programming. I had a semester of python in college, and I had a bit of C, I had arduino, PLC, whatever, you name it. The funny part is I hated programming in college. Honestly it was just coding and syntax, it had nothing to do with coding and with the big picture of what is possible. I only recently got back into code, refreshing some python, and now I'm interested in the most popular and most used p language of the world: JavaScript.
I don't really have a clear vision of why I need to learn it, but I just feel it in my gut, and I wanna see it through... Hence this thread. This thread is mostly for me, so that I have an opportunity to review and revise what I've learned and write it down. Hopefully after a couple months/6/9 year I can really develop this thread and offer it as motivation for other aspiring learners.
I know it's not making me money now, and its not really a business execution thread, but I hope it still counts and I hope my progress exudes effort and fastlane mentality.
I will do my best to update my journey weekly.
