Its hard to keep it as positive as you do, especially in your situation. Your energy is contagious. It motivates me even tho I already have a job. Please do let us know once you get a job as @Lewis65 said!

I will definitely do both those things. Let me jump on some right now lol. When I get a job I will be sure to update my status here. To be continuedā¦ lol
Will do. Btw thanks for the tip on HackerRank! I saw the leader board and was instantly hooked. I gotta get to at least the top 10 000. I will steadily chip away at those rankings lol. Rank 498 352 today but that will change. (Game face) ā Mamba mentality!
What counts is the experience, to then put it into practice

Wow, you completed all of FCC in 6 months while working a full time developer job in another stack? Did you have prior experience with the topics taught in the Full Stack Certifications and how many hours a night did you work on it? Your determination and focus is impressive, which leads me to think that it was the company that was the problem, not you. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration and the tip on Regular Expressions, Iām just about to learn it and Iām scared because I havenāt heard good things about it.

Thank you for the support but I am not so impressive. I got the job in October 2018. I had some savings so I worked about 8-10+ hours on FCC everyday since I started FCC (almost no days off).
By the time I started the job I had completed 4/6 certs. After I started the job I did about 4-5 hours a day (2 hours before work and about 3 hours after). Before starting FCC I knew basic HTML, CSS, some PHP and very little JavaScript (for some reason it was terrifying). I had just built a demo android game in Unity with C# but that took me a few monthsā¦ but from that I had truly learned the concepts of coding (Keep getting it wrong until you miraculously get it rightā¦ LOL).
While I was working on FCC I did some freelance projects which required the LAMP stack. I tried to make some money while I was improving on my skills. I kinda pitched great websites to clients and then stressed through tutorials to figure out how to make it work by the deadline LOL.
I am happy my story could be of some benefit and I hope you keep at it. I am starting to believe that the coolest parts of programming are also the scariest. Machine learning, AI, VR, AR all look soo intimidating LOL. One step at a time I guess. Thanks again for the feedback and support! I really appreciate it.
