Would The Odin Project be a good starting point? ( www.theodinproject.com )

The Odin Project literally changed my life. It’s hard but so worth it. Go for it 💯

I really appreciate your sharing this as I have hopes that it will do the same for me. I am mired right now in desktop support and I hate every waking minute of it. I hate the sense of over entitlement of users. I am sick of being treated as the help despite being employed by the same agency they are. The “customer service model” of desktop support is flawed and encourages bad behavior on the part of the end user. Not even baristas, waiters and waitresses, or customer service of any field should be treated like “the help.”

✊ hang in there buddy and keep trucking. I was similarly in a low place when I started Odin. I’d just dropped out of college (for the second time).

Decided right then that I was going to become a developer and kept working away at it with a blank mind. I made tons of mistakes but felt liberated by working towards my goal.

Good on you for pushing through! I am going to do my 1-2 hours of learning tonight. My clothes washer broke last night so I have to go to the laundromat. Hey man, if it’s not one thing, it’s another. I can’t afford to fix the damn thing too. 😆
