Yes...first time I've tried to do it. I believe I might have paid too low a fee 🤷♀️
I did 2 at home in Scotland. Just signed up for my 3rd in Thailand 🇹🇭
Thanks Vinny! 🤗 I'm from Scotland but now live in SEA. What about you?
That's too much to ask for huh? 🤷♀️
Thanks for this Gel! And you're right. Html was actually really enjoyable to learn. I actually surprised myself at how quickly I grasped it but the ol' JS soon knocked me off my perch 😅 I have such admiration and appreciation for the devs of the world 👏
Haha!!! Remind yourself often! 👏💜
We are all wired differently.
Instead of focusing on the “coding” or more specifically the “what” to be creative in, focus on:
1. Being creative (the process itself)
2. Adding (creating) value
Another way to solve for this would be to deploy Jim Collin’s Hedgehog Concept
Are you familiar with that?
(If not it’s basically a ven diagram)
A. What can I be the best in my world at? (in your own words, People and I’d add, thus Relationships)
B. What are you deeply passionate about?
C. What drives your economic engine?
Answer those and you’ll probably find it isn’t coding! So don’t force a square object into a round hole.
Align yourself with the above and you will see the value creation flow.

Thank you Jason for this thoughtful reply. I'm not familiar with the theory but that makes total sense. Initially I was learning it just to understand it, rather than to build something specific. I think this made the process more difficult. Someone else suggested I decide in something I'd like to build first. That seems to be the way 🫶
Appreciate the vote of confidence 🫶
All roads lead to javascript huh? 😅 I'm gonna learn it. I'm determined 💪
Aww listen to you, you old charmer that you are! 😁🫶
That makes sense. Don't think I'll ever be a good coder by that rationale 😭 I'd still like to have a basic grasp though 🤞
It's a mindset thing though, right? I need to not be intimidated by it. Coding is the language of the future. I'm gonna have to suck it up and learn it.
Aww you're too kind 😂 What language would you recommend for a noob?
Maybe you were created to huddle under the blankets and stay warm 😂
You could always go back to the ‘80’s and start with Basic LOL…programming sprites is fun…maybe 🤦♂️
I keep telling myself that teenagers can do this, so surely I can. I think maybe my brain just works differently. People are just so much easier to understand 😂
