tech code dev beep boop

I like compooter, I think code is neat, I think hardware is neat, I think hackin' is neat, I think websites is neat. I just don't know how to do any of it! I want to learn! I've been dabbling in websites forever but I never got more than basic HTML/CSS, barely got into JS. It's hard for me! And I don't know how to learn things, which is a problem in many areas of my life. What is study? I dunno! I never became a good musician because of it.

I keep wanting to go into a career in this stuff. I was briefly in a computer science minor ten or so years ago until I dropped out of school altogether. I keep trying to self-teach, it's hard. I've completed some of the Odin Project (hey I learned very basic git there!) but I've been busy so I sorta dropped it. I recently listened to How to Learn to Code and Get a Developer Job from freeCodeCamp and it got me really hyped, like, the resources for me are there! That's something in reach! Then the next day I did nothing, then for the next month I did nothing. Though, for that specific time, I was incredibly burnt out from a theatre gig I had which took me a month to recover from, and then I went right into a different theatre gig. So I didn't have the time or energy to dig in. Maybe I'll get into the freeCodeCamp stuff after this current gig. Who knows!

It's been a week since I started writing this post, so I don't remember where I was going with this. Maybe I wasn't going anywhere with this. I guess my point is that I want to learn nerd shit and have a career in nerd shit! But school isn't an option, and I don't know how well I can teach myself, or if my brain is even capable of learning in the first place!

Or maybe my theatre career can just pick up instead lol. But I still wouldn't be satisfied because I wanna know how to code and do tech! I need a new brain!
