Sean Smith's story is so inspiring. It teaches us that if you can afford to work unpaid for 7+ hours per day, 50+ hours per week for a whole year and move to one of the most expensive cities in the world without a job, then you can truly achieve anything.

This is currently the wall I find myself staring at. I feel like I'm barely over the theshold, and I can't afford to keep doing it this way, I'll have to get permanent work soon.

I definitely can't afford to move to San Francisco.

You could learn to do coding by working remotely, but I think a key thing is finding someone to help point the way toward what you need to learn. In a cheap town without much going on, you might have more time to focus. But how do you connect with someone to guide you.

You forgot the /s, but it's pretty obvious;)
