I'm one of those learners and this is true to an extent. But there's fantastic people in r/learnprogramming for example. Even better than the Discord of the self-paced bootcamp I'm doing...
But the complexity is real. I'm learning Django, which is supposedly easy, and it's a completely different beast than learning the in and outs of a language. And Django has good documentation, for some libraries it's a mess.

- AlchemistCamp 4y agoYou picked a tough spot to start!
- spaniard89277 4y agoMeh, I'm following the path they tell me. You're probably right tho, but I guess they want to make me employable. I feel that I will use Django for personal stuff in the future too, so althogh it is comples I have enough drive to get through it. I can't be many hours on it though. Programming was much more motivating when I was learning the basics, I could be coding all day with no problem. I loved the challenges they sent me.
- AlchemistCamp 4y agoSetting aside Django and learning it as a beginner, the job market for Python as a whole is a bit odd. It's great for grad students coming in from other disciplines but pretty harsh and credentialist towards the more typical self-taught web dev profile. That said, both the concrete things you pick up with the language and the meta skills you pick up fighting with frameworks, libraries and dependencies will come in useful. Keep learning and you'll be more employable. Best of luck! I've been there.
- spaniard89277 4y agoThanks, after Django comes Spring. I found java cumbersome but apparently there's much more java work in spain. I'll see how it goes.
