What a bunch of beautiful people!! You all have been so helpful.
I like the book recommendations but I don't know if my ADD will let me go through them, but then again, no pain no gain right?
The code challenges route is something that I frankly never looked into. It's surprising how a nudge from some experienced devs pushes you down the right direction.
I don't get enough practice and this gamified approach to learning development may just be what I'm looking for.
Thankyou all for the love !!

@freemo I think there are undeserving candidates in every field of expertise. In fact, at least 80% of craftsmen in any specialisation are "not good".
The more demanding the area of expertise, the wider this ratio will be.
From what I believe, it's just the 1% that actually create 99% of whatever the trade is involved in.
Maybe it's the same for opensource? IDK
This is a very universal thing, in any field where the barriers of entry are low.
I know many truly horrible programmers that make a lot of money in India, simply by being able to assemble a team of mediocre developers and delivering a project. Maybe that comes under the class of managerial skill of whatever.
But as it is we don't reward people who are truly good, and hence there is less motivation to go around.
(that's just my opinion, I haven't seen the world much to know a lot about this)
@Deepsealioness Yea sadly rape is one of those areas with a lot of social justice still desperately needed, both for male and female victims. It is very sad, and I hope to see people working towards solutions, though im not sure enough people are.
Of course it isnt scientific, nothing about gender is or ever has been scientific. Just like most words in the english language it isnt scientific, bur rather linguistic.
Sex on the other hand, being an entirely different word, is scientific. It also serves a very different purpose/definition.
