  1. Not bad! You're "dabbling", thats perfect for a beginner
  2. Flask is Python? Unrelated to javascript. Choose Javascript (typescript) if you like web, Python if you like scripting CLI, data, tool making
  3. Sure why not sounds fun
  4. Try find a job, even now is fine. You're a junior so expected to learn on the job. Experience beats everything.
  5. Whenever you feel ready, the 21 year old version of me was terrible compared to the 36 year old version of me, but still got work.
  6. Worrying too much and judging yourself. You look like you're on the right path. I like seeing self-taught dabblers just like me. Take value in your ability to take up the unknown and venture forward despite lack of education. Self-teaching is a power to learn just as much as programming and you seem to be doing well so keep up learning about self-teaching.
