With enough motivation, you can accomplish anything.
Jeremiah Parker
Just don't expect fast results. Also, you'll never be done learning. Just keep that in mind and you'll be fine. You'll be frustrated a lot.
Colton Bennett
yeah but people are like "programmers are super in demand, two years of freecodecamp and you'll have a job"
i don't know man, are programmers really in THAT high demand?
Matthew Reyes
Gee, I don't know.
Luis Gomez
look man, i don't know, i'm coming from a construction background, what i am saying is it just sounds to good to be true,
if i go this route i would be compete against guys with DEGREES from universities, so i think a little skepticism is healthy.

You can teach yourself fucking anything you want with enough drive, motivation, determination, what have you, it just takes time.
Honestly if you're expecting to get a high 5 five, or six digit job from teaching yourself to program, then forget it. Unless you go back to a university and challenge the course requirements to show you already know to program, then your self-taught programming skills will be all for naught without any connections. The hiring manager is going to take the prospect with a bachelors of masters over the guy who "claims he can code," any day of the week.

exercising after a study session improves your ability to retain the information learned
Andrew Young

Better hope one of those turbonerds befriends you quick, and already has a job at a fortune 500 company.
