• I am stuck!

  Have you heard of CheckIO (https://checkio.org/)? They have a gameified "Mario world" of coding challenges that are smaller and come with more explanation, tests to guide you through edge cases and provide hints. The challenges start from total beginner and progress to more advanced. And best of all, after you solve a problem they show you what other people do. I highly recommend this for you.

• I feel like I may not be smart enough to get into the cybersecurity space

  Cyber isn't gonna be a light switch, where you can flip it and be good. Don't be too hard on yourself. Start with some hands on stuff like https://tryhackme.com or checkio.org. You could look at certs like Security+ or CySA+ for some direction. It took me years to get into cybersecurity, and I still don't feel like I know anything. Source: 11 months ago

• Ask HN: Would doing a coding bootcamp be a horrible idea?

  Don't do bootcamp. Start with something like https://freecodecamp.org and take a few lessons. Try to build something from that and see how motivated you are. If you see some progress and this thing still excites you, then may be find an engineer (a friend/co worker etc) who can guide you a bit as you continue to build something. Start small and stay away from bootcamps (my 2 cents). - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
