    Tried CS50, failed, tried The Odin Project then also failed.
    First watched Leon sometime in November 2022, then decided to really focus on his classes on December 15, 2022.
    Took me 6 months to finish classes 1 to 55+, 3 months of job hunting, and was hired as a junior software engineer last November 2023. Full-time WFH with provided MacBook/equipment. Thank you, Leon!

    I have watched the intro part with tears in my eyes. Leon, your kindness, compassion, protectiveness over the community, effort to be honest and realistic, lightheartedness and amazing teaching style have blown me away. I haven’t seen anyone with such a genuine intention and passion to help others in a long while. This is what I’ve been looking for. I’ve been wanting to get into software engineering for a while and but the courses and tutorials seemed all very daunting, but with the community support it seems possible. I don’t want to miss the window. I will be here for 30 weeks and do my best, and I’ll get a software engineering job. I appreciate this bootcamp so so much, thank you very much Leon. You are a life-saver.

    Where my journey began. 100Devs changed my life, and if you follow what Leon says you will succeed. It’s going to feel hard, and overwhelming at times so you need to come to terms with that. But if you put in the time, and effort, there’s no doubt you can start a software developer career learning with 100Devs. It took me about a year to land my first developer job learning with the 100Devs community. It’s hard but not impossible. If you’re new, and unsure about this, please give at least 50 honest hours of effort towards this, and I assure you that you will be amazed at the progress you’ve made. Don’t quit!

    I first heard about all of this on TikTok. My first impression is that, how can I father of two in-between jobs be able to partake in these classes and ultimately be able to code? I don't know the answer to that question, but I know that I like this guy Leon he is a genuine guy and I believe in him and his vision. To be honest, I am overwhelmed. It has taken me a week to get through this first class, but I'm in it for the long haul. I'm in it to finish the marathon. I am in it to sprint through that finish line. I will send a comment on each video to give myself and maybe Leon my 2 cents of this Journey. Thank you Leon.

I'm so happy for you to have found that. And I truly wish for you to make this goal possible and reap all of its benefits!

    Its crazy watching this video after having it changed my life so much. I knew after the first class Id need to make a commitment and I did. I was working full-time and quitting wasn't an option I had my kid to take care of and bills to pay. It was extremely difficult but every waking moment was spent studying through this program. I was lucky enough to go through it live and in March 2023 I was given my first tech opportunity. I went from being a housekeeper to a software engineer and I'm already on job #2 with a company I love and benefits. I never spoke with Leon but I'll forever be grateful.

    I hope to check in and comment on every video as I go through this. I usually skip the intros of videos and jump straight into the content but I'm glad I stuck out and listened to your intro Leon. Hearing your background and story made me tear up due to some similarities. I'm in, I also checked in on the May catch up crew on discord.

    I am back. Last year, after being laid off from my company, I came here to learn to code, but I was not in the proper mental state. I had the hardest year last year; it was just awful in so many ways. I felt like I was going to give everything up -- but somehow, I made it through. Now, I am in the right state to truly go after what I need and what I want. I will be starting over from the beginning -- I am not sure if it's all begun over or not, but I will be putting my all into this course because I have a plan and a vision for my life now. I want to thank you for the work you are doing; I knew even last year it was something special, but now I can truly receive and appreciate it. I am posting this for accountability. I WILL FINISH THIS COURSE THIS YEAR, and I will bring my visions to life.

    BRO…WOW…I don’t know you, don’t know how I ended up on your channel, video, but I’m so happy I did! There are people who have that “IT Factor” and you my man, you have that, you have that and more. The fact I sat here and listened to you for 24 minutes already, and you have me commenting this, it’s mind blowing.
    You inspired me in 24 minutes. They doesn’t happen. Rarely. But you did. You have a way with words. You’re raw, passionate, have purpose, represent a HUGE CAUSE ON SO MANY LEVELS, like wow man!
    When you said I’m not a doctor, I’m not a nurse, but I feel I have something I can provide, I said out loud, yes you fkn do! As a registered nurse who worked in the ICU for two years during COVID, from day 1, until 2 years in to
    COVID, I hated the word Hero. Hero gets thrown loosely. Did I do some great things, I can humbly say I did, and it was intense, sad, took a huge toll on my mental health and sobriety, but a hero, a hero is someone changing the lives of SO MANY people, for free, one giving back selflessly to his/her community, one who invests in the lives of others and fights for a cause, takes a stance to make a difference, and more, and that is YOU bro.
    I’ve never written something like this about someone and I’m 37 years young. I was graduate speaker of my nursing class and I hope my speech moved people the way you did me in such a short time.
    I don’t want to be a software engineer, but I’m now vested in this boot camp even if it is two years in. So let’s see where this journey takes me! Maybe it’ll help my real estate career! Let the journey begin…they say people come into your life for a reason, season, or a lifetime, and I don’t know where you fall yet, but I know for sure, a reason is one. Thanks for being you bro. Thanks for sticking to that sailboat inspiration and becoming a blessing to so many.

    THE ACTIVE RECALL, YESSS!! I recently studied for the CCNA, and was guilty of the poor study methods he mentioned. About halfway through, I decided to switch things up and inadvertently landed on Active Recall, started writing down questions instead of writing down answers. It was INFINITELY more efficient than my studying before, I retained so much more information. Ended up passing the CCNA after only 4 months of study, going from zero knowledge to certified. This method is legit!
    Anyways, I was really happy to see an official title for my method. I felt like Einstein after having this discovery, and was also incredibly furious that they never talked about this in school!

    Leon is providing people like myself a way out of the poverty cycle we were born into, and it’s free. I’m so excited to be apart of this movement, because that’s what this is essentially. ❤ Thanks again, Leon. I hope we all are able to forward this kindness ourselves one day.

    I’m 23 born and raised in Boston, and I’m just starting this now. I’m hoping to complete the whole 30 weeks and I fully believe I could.
