Just learned that most beginner coders quit in the first three months
I was reading a study from a coding bootcamp's yearly report, and it said over 60% of people who start learning to code on their own stop within 90 days. That number hit me hard because I almost quit after two months myself. I got stuck on a basic JavaScript loop problem for a whole weekend and felt so dumb. The report said the main reason isn't talent, it's hitting a wall and not knowing how to ask for help. I realized I was trying to learn from a huge 40-hour video course without ever talking to another person. Now I force myself to post my broken code on a forum, even if it's embarrassing. How do you guys push through when you're totally stuck on a simple concept?
