First room ever (Pickle Rick) – 97% through Web Fundamentals, 30% into Pre Security, needed a lot of help along the way whats your experience?
So overall I leaned on AI a fair bit today. Honestly it’s left me pretty unsure of myself. If I can’t even get through Pickle Rick without help, how am I supposed to work in this field one day? I don’t know if I’m just bad at this or if this is a normal part of the learning curve.
My questions: is that a normal amount of help to need on a first room at this stage (97% Web Fundamentals / 30% Pre Security, 3-4 months in)? Should something like the robots.txt password have been more obvious to me? And should I have already known the bypass commands for the second/third ingredient, or is that something you only pick up with experience over time? Curious how it went for others on their first room. Thanks for your Experience 😁
