   So I bought a Codecademy subscription a while ago and have been trying to follow a Python course, but I'm really demotivated because I have no end goal, don't see where I'm going with it, and it's just... boring
   
   So I was thinking-- would learning JS or taking a web development course instead be more motivating since I could directly put what I learn to use on my GitHub page (https://merulox.github.io)? Or should I just discipline myself and keep going with that Python course (the learning I've done so far is negligible, I spent maybe 4-5 hours on it at best)

     @merulox :blobcat3c: nice
     Imho its complicated... Learning Web is quite nice, because you might have faster a "success moment". On the other side, python is like a allround workbench which you could do many cool things with. So in general i recommend to learn whatever you have more fun with, in the end you might have a basic knowledge, but just for your informations: Developers need to google things all the time, it helps to have basic knowledge but you will lookup things anyway all the time.
