Where should I start if I want to approach this market as I have my construction's degree only? Thanks in advance.

I wonder if anyone here tried to 1.) Measure his/her current skill as a dev 2.) Found a way to continuously track their progress

Should I be measuring this or are there other things I should focus on (of course, aside from actually trying to improve your skill)?

Hey guys! First of all thanks for putting together this group. I have a quick question for you if you have 30 seconds to respond! Hope you don't mind. Much appreciated for a new entrepreneur out to help people.

--> I'm curious to know what pain points exist for dev professionals in regards to their energy and health. for example: time, motivation, knowledge, discipline, focus, grocery shopping, etc? anything and everything is interesting to know that could be a potential barrier.

I'm a health professional and work 1:1 with tech professionals, and endeavoring to learn as much has I can for improved value in my practice. Thank you!

doing some research for a thesis. Any help would be awesome! :) I'm looking at their preferences, day to day lives, what kind events they go to, hobbies they indulge in etc.
