Thanks for starting the blog. I've doubted myself after trying to learn programming for a long time with the same intentions of building my own MVPs...and the same growing pile of web development books!

I don't know when it will happen but I'll begin planning for my Sweat Lodge.

The two secrets as I see it are:

1. you need to start with a project instead of just blindly reading technical books.

2. Having a mentor really helps.
