Build something simple that you’d like to see exist! Use GPT or similar as a free coding instructor. I lean on it for help everyday and I’m a full-time front end dev!

varun studied journalism in college and got hired to publish the articles on the school paper site as my first job. started small with little HTML and CSS stuff for a while and built it up over time. have slowly acquired more skills at different jobs and landed my first full-time dev role about eight years later. i think the key is just to get hands on with it and build real stuff even if it's basic. tutorials are too isolated and the real skill devs need is being able to problem solve even if they don't have experience with the exact issue at hand. also, yeah! definitely recommend. get to work from home and hang out with my wife and pets all day. pay is good and you're mostly left alone to just get your shit done.

went to a cinema club - this is what it's all about. community is real! even in the city! it's not all over. i watched natural enemies and boxing helena with my friend and ally charlie. the first was awesome, the second was less so - but arguably more fun. sherilyn fenn is not a star, she is something else entirely.

Way harder than I thought it’d be but not bad for my first try. My lack of skill somehow gives it extra charm instead of looking like shit. Turns out embroidery is a forgiving medium.

a good lesson in patience and being ok looking like shit on purpose for a while. also fun to tend to it like a little garden on your face.

may seem trivial, but this helps me feel more confident in the things I write down and encourages a more positive self-image of my brain.
also, it’s not that hard. you basically just need to slow down.
