Anyone use coursera to learn other skills?
How has your experience been on there?
Is it worth it and would you recommend it to other people to level up their skills?

I’ve used Coursera, and it’s been good for sure. I don't think it's the equivalent to having legitimate work experience of course, but it's a good intro a lot of skills. The courses are well-structured, and you can learn at your own pace. I’d say it’s definitely worth it if you’re serious about leveling up. I’ve treated it a little like a hobby to learn things I'm interested in like data analysis and UX design there.

Appreciate your feedback. I really like your approach of viewing it as a hobby of those things you are interested in.
