Thank you a lot for sharing your story and giving magnificent advice, I will think of this post the next time I write code.

Thank you for "Confident Programmer First Class". I will add it to my resume now. :P

Wow, my focus is out of control. I started skipping numbers when I was on 50.

I think that anxiety or depression can be a factor. Because before programming was just a hobby for me. Now I'm doing a coding bootcamp where I pay about $100/month which is a lot for my family. I have a lot of pressure on me to be good to get a job, since I am going all in for a tech career. I am going to school in the day and doing the coding bootcamp at night and I'm learning from other sources too because I feel like I have to work 120% to be better than other to have a better chance finding a job.

I'm not sure. :(

I'm 18 years old, I don't have a job. I am going to school right now (Electrical Engineering).

I live in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it's not a good place to live if you want to pursue an IT career. I don't have any friends that do programming that I can talk to and create programs together. I would love to have a mentor or a colleague to work with me. I've tried learning with other developers, but it didn't work out that well.

I really want to find a open source project that is meaningful to me and is on my skill level. I'm bored of doing stupid todo apps and calculators for learning.

If you know any good open source projects that I can contribute to easily that would be awesome.

In the first few months of programming I was able to create todo lists apps and simple games, but now I have a hard time structuring everything together and I don't know where to start.

- HTML - CSS - JavaScript - NodeJS - MongoDB - PHP - C# - Java

I've sorted the list as my knowledge is in them. HTML, CSS, JavaScript is where I'm best and PHP, C#, Java is where I'm worst.

Interests that I have are, Math, Programming, Electronics, Physics, Chemistry.
