Are you trying to be a programmer or more into the IT/networking thing?
If it's the former, don't waste your time with those certs and focus on your portfolio of sites. If it's the latter, then sure, focus on those certs.

Do you guys send thank you notes after interviews?
Nah. If you handled the interview they will rush to get you on the team.

Been focusing solely on JavaScript lately. I have the basics like loops, ifs, etc and Objects down now. About to move on to frameworks should I focus on mastering one or try to get exposure to different ones. Also what's your pick Angular vs React and does anyone still use jQuery

Wait so you can ACTUALLY freelance via coding?
I know java, javascript, HTML, and CSS.
How do I go about freelancing? How much could i make?
I mean you can learn jQuery just to understand legacy projects, but it's pretty much deprecated. Companies are trying to get away from using it.
In terms of Angular vs React, try both and see which one vibes with you. They both can get you jobs. I personally prefer Angular, even though I'm deep diving in react for a job now.
You can freelance, but I don't really recommend it starting off. Dealing with clients who may or may not know what they want is annoying and you will have to deal with the whole issue of negotiating payments, making sure they pay you on time and all of that. Maybe once you have a few years in the industry can you focus on really making a move towards freelancing.

He's most likely going to get comfortable with the security. When you finally dive into freelance full time, it is terrifying. But, going from a poor college student to a poor freelancer is a much easier transition then giving up a 6 figure salary to make websites.

Coding is not diffcult?
Whoever wrote that title never had to load a BASIC program off a cassette or think in terms of using registers and memory addresses to get the job done.
I have no idea for a project. Anything is better than nothing. I assume something to deal with JavaScript since everyone seems to be trying to do FrontEnd in this thread.

I think the problem is many people here pursue coding because they believe it to be a lucrative career with a low barrier of entry (coding boot camps are easier/cheaper than a full college program). There's no genuine passion for it so they're very less likely to code outside of work/work-related stuff. At least that's the impression I get.
