My (not so pretty) journey in tech
TL;DR: A developer shares a candid, non-linear journey through C++, data structures and algorithms, machine learning, and web development, emphasizing perseverance and realistic expectations in learning tech skills.
The author describes feeling overwhelmed learning C++, then pushing through despite setbacks. They critique the hype around success stories and highlight that failure is a normal part of growth. They note DSA requires sustained effort and that learning timelines vary by person. They share that ML sparked curiosity across multiple tools and libraries, and that the desire to explore led to broad interest in tech, including web development.
Question for the room: What realistic learning milestones or timelines have you found effective when tackling multiple tech domains at once?
