For some reason in middle school I tried it and, for obvious reasons, couldn’t figure it out. Then in 2012-2014 Reddit kept telling everyone to learn Python. I failed that and kept trying randomly for 10 years. I’ve only recently begun making progress in web dev, which is deliberately avoided because of Reddit language opinions.

Ignoring all of that, I really like text editors for some reason, and I’m on a journey to make some. I still haven’t made any, but it’s a goal.

Question: How long does it take to get the proverbial ball rolling on Upwork? I used it for a month and spent $200+ and wasn’t able to get any work.

I’ve used it to help me understand some code concepts and debugging, but over the last two weeks, it went from competent to completely stupid half of the time. It also fails to connect so often, it’s unreal.
