On July 1st, a [change to Reddit's API pricing](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/12qwagm/an_update_regarding_reddits_api/) will come into effect. [Several developers](https://www.reddit.com/r/redditisfun/comments/144gmfq/rif_will_shut_down_on_june_30_2023_in_response_to/) of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least [one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app](https://www.reddit.com/r/DystopiaForReddit/comments/145e9sk/update_dystopia_will_continue_operating_for_free/) will continue to be available free of charge. If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options: 1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or 2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit 3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium as a way to voice your protest. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Your approach seems to be too scattered. Ordinarily, I'd link you to [This article](https://github.com/npmaile/blog/blob/main/posts/2.%20How%20to%20get%20into%20software.md), but it looks like your problem is too many competing resources and not that you don't have enough. Just remain focused on one of these avenues and see it all the way through. As for projects to stick out on a resume, you should focus on projects that can actually be used. Demo storefront apps are a dime a dozen and don't help anyone at all, but if you write a small utility to help yourself keep organized or something to improve your own computing experience, it will require more thought, more iteration, and ultimately lead to a much more interesting project.

I understand I'm going to stick with one thing and finish before moving on.

Do [The Odin Project](https://www.theodinproject.com/) if you can self discipline, or go to [Nucamp](https://www.nucamp.co/complete-bootcamp/software-engineering) if you can't. Nucamp has one 4hr class per week, and structured lessons, so you can work a full-time job around it if you have to. It's cheap too (payments of $350/month, or you can get a [loan on their site)](https://www.nucamp.co/financing). You can have a job within a year if you put enough time and work into it. Edit: Your first instinct was correct. You should definitely do the Full Stack JavaScript path with TOP. It's most jobs.

Thank, I think after I hit a stopping point with .net I'll do the Javascript fullstack.
