Hello, my name is Ellie. I started self-teaching programming after going through some health issue that got me hospitalized. I guess you can say it was sort of a wake up call after thinking about the last job I had. After thoroughly thinking, I’d figure my last job felt like it wasn’t worth it years down the line so here I am using my time of recovery to learn something new in hopes that will benefit me in the future.

I am 32 years old and I am currently learning Responsive Web Design. It felt like it might be useless learning coding at this point in my life but instead of filling myself with regrets and such, it is best telling myself it’ll be worth it in the end. Better than having to sit around in my chair all day doing nothing, am I right?

I have no coding experiences whatsoever but whatever opportunity may throw at me, I’ll take any chance I can get.

Thank you all for you time and attention reading this! Best of wishes to all learning out there.

Awesome. Welcome to the community, Will. Dive into the core curriculum and hang out here on the forum to soak in the discussion among devs.

Hi Ellie,

I hope your health issues are getting better and you feeling well today.

When in doubt: learn. And that is what you’re doing. You’re still super young and have a ton of potential for building amazing things with your new skills.

I hope to see you here on the forum more. All the people here are super chill and supportive.

Welcome back to programming. A lot of us did some programming early on, put it down for a while, and picked it back up. So you’re in good company. :slight_smile:

Hello everyone! My name is JJ, and I’m 21 years old from California. I’m currently a college student studying Computer Information Systems. I’ve been learning front-end web development on freeCodeCamp since October 2024, and my goal is to become a full-stack developer. I’m currently working through the Certified Full Stack Developer Curriculum. So far, I’ve completed the Responsive Web Design Certification and am about halfway through the JavaScript Certification. I also took a Python class in high school and really enjoyed it. I’ve also contributed to freeCodeCamp a couple of times, and I hope to contribute even more as I continue learning. I’m excited to continue improving my programming skills, build real-world web applications, and become more active in the freeCodeCamp community. I look forward to connecting with everyone!

Hi @jjotteson !

Welcome to the forum!

Hi

Very sorry to hear about your health issues. I hope you recover well. Learning to code is a fantastic use of your time. I made a major career switch to tech in my 30s. Best move I could have made for myself. I’m now retired and volunteer with a career coach providing career and job hunting advice. If you don’t mind I’ll provide you with some pointers:

  1. Block out all the negative noise around the industry in particularly AI taking everyone’s job such as junior coder roles. It is way overblown.
  2. Build a portfolio of projects and make them publicly available on GitHub.
  3. If you’re having trouble coming up with projects look to your experience and expertise in other work areas, hobbies etc. You’ll find you have more expertise than you realize.
  4. Take a look at local non-profit organizations, clubs, associations etc. Either build out something you can show them and/or ask if they need help.
  5. Read Quincy’s book on how he learned to code (it’s freely available on FreeCodeCamp). His path is pretty amazing and compelling. Lots of great advice on how to become a coder. He talks about really stretching yourself by presenting your projects at meetups. Difficult for some people but rewarding.
  6. Listen to freeCodeCamp podcasts on how others made mid career switch. Lots of inspiring stories to keep you motivated. The other is Code Newbies.
  7. Involve yourself in forums contributing what you’re doing, helping others etc. Maybe write a blog post on about your journey.
  8. Try to pick a lane and not be the master of all. The FCC full stack program is well built and a great way to help you discover where you want to focus.
  9. More importantly have fun.

Hope this is useful

That’s actually refreshing to hear from that. The whole AI in the industry taking over thing, I was trying so hard not to let that go over my head.

This is giving me a lot more hope in pursuing this pathway for me.

Thank you for sharing that!
