Reading books, watching videos, listening to podcasts, doing tutorials, actual changing code, all of it is good. The guy who founded Cisco said you have to spend 10,000 hours at something to be an expert at it (that's about 5 years of 40 hour weeks). Expect to put in a large number of hours. There's a reason why IT at the upper levels is dominated by sad guys who have nothing else going on than doing IT, or who spent their whole teenage years doing nothing but IT, cos those are the people who put in the hours. IT is flooded with people who just want to do the bare minimum asked/required, and then they wonder why they don't get anywhere.

Reading books is great and always a good idea. However I find it can be hard to focus on code for a long period of time, that's why in person courses are good if you want to get into IT. There are a lot of free government funded courses available. There are also things like w3schools.com. If looking for a first project the source code for the site we are on is all available at the github link at the bottom of the page, and there are a number of minor things that could be fixed up here.

the hard thing is initially learning the logic because program flow, data storage and basic stuff like that doesn't really make sense in terms of regular logic and differs a little between different types of languages (in OO languages you need to worry about classes and inheritance, lower-level you need to think about memory management, instruction sets and optimising etc.).
once you understand the different parts and how to put a program together it's pretty straightforward to just look up the individual commands and functions you want to use

No, I'm a survivor. I get 35 eggs a day, I can hatch 350 quail out in 17 days using a 12v incubator and I can start 350 every 10 days so in 3 weeks from hatching you can start eating the birds and they may be small but meat is meat when you are starving. I could feed my neighbors if the shit gets real. I just have between 45 and 50 quail and 4 cantaloupe and 2 pot plants

this is fun, the guy behind C++ admitting in an interview how he intentionally made the language as complicated and retarded as possible in order to prevent low-skill coders from flooding the market
I guess it worked for a few years until people started taking OO seriously and coming out with other languages

most IT stuff gets outdated in 2-3 years unless you're talking about theoretical paradigms and the like, aside from the shekels it's why they keep releasing new editions
if you're actually interested in programming in general I hear Knuth's books are a good place to start

For dinner tonight…someone put me onto Mushrooms in the pepper thread so I picked some up at Aldi yesterday, I noticed the price of mushrooms has not so far been affected by the inflation…still $1.49 for sliced mushies…same as it's always been.
Anyway I'll fry some up and put them in a 4 egg omelet WHICH HAS BEEN FUCKING AFFECTED BY INFLATION…$3.68 FOR A DOZEN FUCKING EGGS…a couple of months ago it was like $1.19 a dozen.
The sooner I get moved to my land and build a chicken coop the better.
I might post a photo of said omelet…we'll see how the evening goes.
today I ate 13, 8 at break and the other5 later for lunch
up here the farmers get 5 bucks a dozen for chicken eggs, I was paying 8 bucks for 18 at the store,, now eggs pay me, we get 35 to 40 quail eggs a day and I sell em for 2.50 a dozen plus now I eat em for lunch at work hard boiled so they save me 7 to 15 bucks a day by not having to buy a samich at lunch

There’s a review appointment in two weeks to make sure everything’s right. After that I’m done with dermal fillers, they’re not giving me the volume I wanted just cheekbones. In a few months I’ll try mesotherapy.
Have you tried cheeseburgers as a natural filler?

A nightmare for a turtle would be it could be able to fly and it's super duper happy yayyy I can fly now
And it swims to the surface of the water and propels into the air yayyy I'm a turtle yayyy I'm flying
but then it loses its ability to fly and it drops down and falls to it's shell-side landing extremely painfully upside down cracking its shell and breaking it's neck
So it's just there sitting there paralyzed staring up at the sky and the only thing nearby are insects many many insects who catch wind of the broken turtle and all start surrounding it preparing for a lavish feast with all of their friends and family and the turtle is sad knows it's gonna die a slow painful death
But then oh woah miraculously it can seddenly fly again and it gets a huge surge of adrenaline and relief overwhelmed with the joy of knowing he's gonna narrowly escape a horrifying death and right as the first line of bugs are starting to crawl into it it summons it's flying power but then it remembers it's paralyzed and the only reason it thought it could fly was because of the traumatic brain injury it suffered when it fell from the sky the first time, also causing it to think it had been flying by itself, it's memory having been erased of the fact that it had just been picked up by an eagle who lost it's grip mid-flight which sent the little turtle plummeting to it's painful motionless state
And then all the bugs eat him over the course of the next few days maybe even weeks and they savor every bite and really take their time
