999 sats \ 2 replies \ @BlokchainB OP 3 Feb \ on: Learning to code: My MVP as inspired by PlebDev devs
So I finished lessons 1, 2 and 3. So far so good it’s been pretty straightforward. I made my first repo and pushed it to my GitHub! I feel like I can contribute to any open source project now 😂.
But I have some feedback for you @bitcoinplebdev.
  1. I am using Linux with pop_os. I had a small issue getting the code short cut to work on my machine. Once I tried it my OS gave me the command to run to enable the shortcut to open VS code from terminal. Now it works like a charm.
  2. I think your tipper might have a bug. I tipped you 2k sats and it isn’t showing up. The 1.1k sats I sent cleared
  3. When setting up my GitHub I ran into an issue where I couldn’t push my repo to the website. I kept getting this error failed to push some refs to “link to my repo” after troubleshooting with AI (which didn’t help) I noticed VS code was trying to login to GitHub via the extension. So i logged into my GitHub via VS code and then my push finally worked. I
I know you are doing this for people who have zero experience on software development but small little snags like this can cause people to lose motivation and confidence quickly. I think a brief mention about accessing GitHub via VS code can go a long way in helping people push their first ever repo to git hub.
But overall I am enjoying the course it feels like I’m actually making progress

Awesome, thanks for the progress update and feedback! The feeling of stacking repos / commits is one of the coolest things, it's like building a canvas of knowledge and work slowly over years I definitely wanna help every new dev get addicted to that experience.
  1. Yeah code shortcut can be weird on different OS's, mine on mac will just stop working lol
  2. This is when you were sending a zap on the course or lesson through the UI? Can you tell me what browser you were using or if on mobile and how you paid? The zapper app integration has been a bit shaky, I'm gonna be doing my own full e2e implementation of zaps soon.
  3. Yeah I need to like record myself doing this in a lot more detail and on multiple OS's probably. Honestly this process is so confusing and easy to forget I had to watch a tutorial myself before recording that lesson 😂
I appreciate the feedback this is helpful AND encouraging to know people are going through it and finding value! This is just V1 of the starter, I will redo it and improve it at some point soon cause I know how important it is to have an empowering and fun intro for this stuff and these little blockers can be so devastating for that hah

Yeah that is true. Self learning alone and hitting a snag you don’t know how to fix cause all kinds of doubt and kills momentum. But soon as you breakthrough you get excited and confidence comes back.
I’ll keep you posted as I keep taking your courses. Thanks for putting this together!
