Shoutout to the free Python course I started in 2020
Three years ago, I was stuck in a dead-end job in Omaha and decided to learn to code with a free online course. Last month, I finally finished my first freelance web app for a local bakery, and it felt like a real win. What was the first project that made you feel like a real coder?

Agreed, and @sanchez.robin has the right idea.

Nice! That bakery app is huge. My first real win was a dumb script that sorted my downloads folder. Sounds simple but making something that actually works changes everything. My advice? Take that bakery app and rebuild it from scratch without looking at your old code. You'll learn twice as much the second time through.
