It's too soon to really tell, but I think I like the class. God knows it's compatible with my new schedule since it's on San Francisco time and I have never been a morning person, but really it's nice to not focus on me and my failed current life right now. I don't think I'll ever be great at coding but it's a skill to develop, the same as everything else, and it certainly can't hurt.

The discount that's running on the course is a huge plus right now so that I'm not investing more than a couple hundred dollars, and I'm not going to spend the big bucks unless I truly feel that I could turn this into more than an occasional hobby. My birthday's almost here and while I doubt I'll be any happier to be a year older, it will be a milestone of sorts in all the wrong ways. Anything that can take my focus off of that is an additional plus. Maybe this year can be better than the last.
