Those who are above Level 15 or higher or have a very high xp count, what have you done with what you've learned?

Question

I'm new here and notice that there are those here who have tens and thousands of xp points.

Where are you now with your programming goals?
Did you end up getting a job?
Are you a contract freelancer now?
Is it more of a hobby?
Do you have some sample work that you can showcase to give others some inspiration?

It would be interesting to know how many here actually acquired their goals.

Answer 1

Jay Matthews there is some deep disappointment behind your words. I am not in the loop to know what happened, and I won't ask. I do want you to know that I always enjoy reading your helpful and often amusing comments.

James Tadeo Some in the community, such as myself and maybe Jay, are here because we enjoy passing along what we have learned and to witness the eureka moment after helping a beginner turn tangled code into something elegant. Who knows what impact that may have toward building a rewarding career? However, if you are expecting Sololearn training to be enough to make you employable, then beware that the courses here end far short of your goals. There is only enough to turn a novice into a beginner.

Answer 2

James Tadeo Dont think about SL xp or level like a strong signal about programmer experience... Its not too rare find users with high xp but that seem has only basic knowldgments (is true the opposite too).
Many users see SL like a game where the winner is who has more xp and them do infinite code challenges (im not telling thats is wrong in absolute terms, but i think its in learning terms).

Anyway, i will try to answer your qiestion in order.

1) Im working as programmer 😁
2) Yeah, like i say in 1)
3) No, for now
4) Yes
5) In reality more complex projects are been developed for current agency and i cannot public them and, anyway, i dont think that them can be of inspiration

Answer 3

Both good answers and I found SL to be an extremely interesting learning format. It isn't the first time I've seen this but I really like the online compiler / output function that immediately shows the results for the web dev learning path.

I'm certain there are some things the courses don't teach that would be a requirement in a real programming job. For now, it's a great way to get started in programming.
