My entire career at this point was jump-started by udacity web dev course. Prior to that I was flitting around with developing scrapers and some basic desktop systems. After I took that course, I went from one level to another and am now working remotely with buffer.

As of late I've been looking back on this experience and wondering how much I'm losing out on by not taking more courses. Hoping to change that from March this year.

Did you take the Front-end or the Full-stack course?

It was this one. https://www.udacity.com/courses/web-development

I did it in the early days before the tracks were introduced and where it was still single courses

Sorry it looks like your link goes to a number of courses. Which one in particular did you do?

Thanks.

Yikes! I shared the course directly from the udacity app. Looks like I got the wrong link.

https://www.udacity.com/course/web-development--cs253

That should take you to the right one hopefully. It's basically Steve Huffman's course on how to build a blog. :)
