As a someone leaving the beginner stages I can greatly sympathize with feeling overwhelmed with so much to learn and people so far ahead. What I have found, as others as have said, is to get a project in mind and work with other people. Coding in isolation, especially as a beginner, is usually a losing strategy unless you are extremely determined and pick things up quickly. I signed up for two courses on Thinkful.com and went to it in view of building the MVP for my startup. It has been a blast! And I feel I've really learned and at only 20, I know I can become a developer. I really encourage projects and mentors. They save.
