Just because programming tutorials are openly available these days does, in no way, imply that learning to code is an effortless endeavor.
In fact, learning to code all by yourself by utilizing these free resources is a true test of patience and dedication.
Yes, there are thousands of interactive tutorials and courses out there on a myriad of CS topics. But trust me, this is what most of us end up doing:
Day 1: I’m so pumped! Can’t wait to start this new JavaScript course!
Day 2: Wow! I just made my browser pop up some text with the alert() function! neat!
Day 3: Errrm, asynchronous functions? This is a bit confusing for me!
Day 10: Umm, that last part was kind of hard. Maybe I should just do something else for now. Maybe start learning Python?
Day 11: Ooo! Python is easy! look at me slicing through all those lists! waaiit, what’s this….”lambda”?!
Day 12: Meh, this is hard! I should just play some Call of Duty instead.
Day 60: *forgets all about the online courses and gets on with life*
Honestly, I have the utmost respect for self-taught programmers who are good at what they do. They were passionate and dedicated enough to not let life get in their way of learning.
Even learning to code by attending classes is relatively easy because a traditional school system compels you to practice coding via assignments and quizzes.
Self-taught coders deserve every penny for their hard work.

During the 19th century, the Catholic Church engineered one of the worst examples of human cruelty, in history.
Thread 👇🏽
For hundreds of years, in the choirs of the Vatican, the Pope and his buddies were quite fond of great singing voices.
There was just one problem with a beautifully voiced youth — they’d hit puberty and age out of it. Your balls drop, your voice drop, and poof! it’s gone.
Someone discovered that in men who were castrated at an early age, the voice tends to remain high-pitched.
But just a shrill voice alone won’t do — it has to be a trained voice, belonging to a trained singer.
The Genocide of Polish unarmed civilians by Ukrainian fighters(UPA) was definitely the cruelest event in WorldWar2, but not very famous. I think it is just too brutal.
Around 100k people were killed village by village using unimaginable methods of tortue.
Comparing to that genocide the Japanese or Nazi crimes seem to be kindergarten.
Any the worst imaginable ways of killing were used & plenty new invented.
Killing quickly was not a case at all. Mass Rape was just a beginning for every woman.
The scale of pure sadism during the event is still not fully understood. Many times killing of one person took few days.
If you want to kickstart your career in data science & ML. Build data science skills, learn Python & SQL, analyze & visualize data, build machine learning models, this thread is for you.

@kadatemy would be launching soon, and with a token of ₦50,000, you'll be exposed to 12 weeks of intensive data science training.
You'll learn what data science is, the various activities of a data scientist’s job, and methodology to think and work like a data scientist.
You'll develop hands-on skills using the tools, languages, and libraries used by professional data scientists.
You'll be taught how to import and clean data sets, analyze and visualize data, build and evaluate machine learning models and pipelines using Python.
She is a Peruvian woman who became the youngest confirmed mother in history when she gave birth aged five years.
Based on the medical assessments of her pregnancy, she was less than five years old when she became pregnant.
On the 23rd of September, 1933, in Peru, a girl by the name of Lina Marcela Medina de Jurado would be born.
5 years later, Lina Marcela was giving birth.
Lina was only five years old when her parents noticed a swelling in her stomach, but after taking her to the doctor’s office, they were horrified by what they heard.
