I’m 19 and in my first two years of c By far the biggest challenge I’ve faced would just be imposter syndrome. I wrote my first line of code two years ago, and I remember during the second week of class, some guy scoffed at me when I asked a question, “This is so easy, how come you can’t do it?” -When it comes to class, I’m not the smartest guy.
