You can't truly become a developer if you can't build your own stuff. Theory and foundations are important, but you also need to be able to fly solo.

Well-built personal projects will help you land interviews and jobs, so make sure to put in the effort!

took time and tried to take as many extra training created to help me practice which was a great help and using it on more difficult examples was really helpful to help retain the new knowledge, still feels like i need to learn a ton since i feel nowhere capable to write bigger more complex code, create a program an AI bot or anything else, Would appreciate also more practice trainings on binary topic, since does were the most challanging,the part of the course could have more steps for practice
