1. Pick a programming language
2. Learn the basics of programming in that language (variables, conditional statements, loops, object oriented programming concepts, etc)
3. Decide on a project to build and create it!

I wouldn’t get too bogged down on where to start. The most important part is to start :) Once you learn the basics you can let your curiosity and interest direct where to go next. I’m a big fan of project based learning.

Cisco Networking Academy has two free Python Essentials courses that provide an extensive introduction to object oriented programming!

Also start learning AI related tools and technologies. That’s the new trend without which everyone is getting redundant.

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)

Anyone else heard of this/tried it?

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am.

I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?
