I started programming about a year and half ago with the Odin Project, about 9 months in, I got employed by a agency, focused mostly on Wordpress and shopware. Everything I did, I uploaded to GitHub and used this to show my knowledge.

Iam by far not the fastest learner, nor am I the most intelligent. I feel overwhelmed most of the time and in comparison to the people that studied something related to IT I had to catch up to a lot of the basic stuff, especially the first few months. At the beginning, even thought I got employees as a junior, I wouldn’t have called myself that, felt more like a apprenticeship.

What I want to say is: in my opinion it’s definitely possible to get a job, even if your self taught. But it needs commitment and you have to get used to a lot of rejected applications. In my area (Germany) most of the companies are looking for well educated people with a degree or work expierience 4 years+. The self learning wasn’t easy and I did it full time, including the weekends for about half a year.

If you want it, do it, commit yourself and I think you will be fine, but don’t expect it to be easy or companies fighting for you. For me the hardest thing was following that goal, even when friends, family and some posts told me I wouldn’t make it.

Have fun, and good luck!

Additional context: Iam 32 with no IT background at all.

Ich denke auch das die Lösung Vorallem aus Russland kommen muss. Aber ein Volk das durch Propaganda seit vielen vielen Jahren kaum die Möglichkeit hat sich ausführlich und faktennah zu informieren mit putin in einen Topf zu schmeißen halte ich auch für fragwürdig.. Natürlich trägt das Volk den Krieg mit, aber viele wissen es halt nicht besser, und alle Proteste die anfangs entstanden sind wurden so schnell nieder gekloppt und weggesperrt das auch viele Russen in Angst leben.

Just try to increase the tension of the cable, often you can do it at the shifter at your handlebar by turning where the cable goes into the shifter. You can’t do that much damage by just trying. If you can’t get it aligned on all gears you probably have to align the derailleur. There are good YouTube videos explaining how to do it. It’s no witchcraft, just try it out. I was able to do it in no time without prevoius experience, just by watching a yt video. Good look and happy biking 👍

I. Love. Torx! They just work! Don’t mind the angle, don’t mind the force! They’re just perfect! Never going back. (At least for everything related to woodworking)

English is not my mother tongue but I prefer it when watching movies and series. The subtitles are English as well, but when there is some strange dialect or some background noise I need it to get the context.
