Feeling dumb

I've been learning on and off about programming for 3 years now. Mostly front-end, html/css/js, for school projects. My degree isn't in CS or IT, so projects that give the opportunity to code are scarce and often short. So I get that I may simply may not have enough hours in coding.

So I'm delighted to be taking CS50 as a Minor at the moment, this has given me the chance to sink a lot of hours in coding, and currently I am in week 5 Data Structures.

But every time I start on the problem sets, I feel overwhelmed and feel like I don't understand anything. I have to Google/GPT the most basic of things. Even though I've been programming regularly the past 6 weeks, I don't feel as if I have improved and I'm starting to doubt if this is a career for me.

In a year I would like to find a career in development. Have any of you felt this way? And what has helped you get rid of this imposter syndrome?

Monthly billing?
  • Yeah, that sounds reasonable. Thanks for taking the time to clarify it. I was hoping to be able to take advantage of the two-year discount but still pay for it in monthly installments

  • Monthly billing?

    I would like to upgrade to the 2 year plan. But I can't pay the full 2 year price in 1 transaction. Is there a possibility for monthly billing?

  • Yup, have been trying to enjoy lemmy since the reddit migration. For the most part its fine. But way too many politics in each comment sections and posts; filled with commies, libtards and all other magical beings of the political rainbow.
