Six months ago I could not write a for loop. I was a high school English teacher for 8 years and everyone told me I was crazy to switch to tech at 32. I almost quit three times. But I kept seeing people in this community doing it. Today I deployed BetterBookshelf, a reading tracker for book clubs. 14 people signed up in the first hour. To anyone still wondering if they can do this: you can.
