Hey everyone !
I'm 30 years old and I used to work as an accountant! I recently got laid off because of a company restructuring and I decided to take this as an opportunity to completely change my career and start a new chapter in my life
I decided to learn Python and SQL with the goal of eventually working in backend development !
I started about a month ago(Python) ! I haven't made as much progress as I wanted because I had a few things going on in my life but I'm back at it and serious about making this career change
And that's actually one of the main reasons I'm making this post !
I'm not just looking for people to occasionally talk about programming with! I'm looking for real learning buddies ! People who will ask each other "Where are you at now?" or "What did you learn this week?" People who will push each other to keep going
Some days I'll probably be the motivated one pushing someone else! Other days I might lose that motivation and I want someone to tell me "Come on let's get back to work"
I'm looking for beginners like me who are starting from scratch or changing careers! Intermediate developers who want to join and help us along the way are more than welcome too
The goal is to learn together! practice together! share our progress! help each other when we're stuck and eventually build projects together
I don't want hundreds of people! I'd rather find a small group of people who are genuinely serious about learning and changing their lives
Maybe one day when we're working as developers we'll be able to look back and say "We made it because we had each other and we didn't let each other give up"
If this sounds like the kind of journey you're looking for too ! send me a message
