       | Extremely cool! Nand2Tetris actually got me in to CS. I had very
       | minimal programming experience but wanted to know how a computer
       | worked. I took the Nand2Tetris course in 2018 and have been
       | hooked ever since. Been programming professionally for 5 years
       | now.

             | I was also working a full time job at the time.

         | I'm currently going through the content and feeling a bit lost
         | actually completing the practicals in module 3-4 - less around
         | the hack syntax and more around what I'm trying to achieve and
         | why. I'm considering skipping forward to assembly coding then
         | circling back. Failing that, any other tips?
         | 
         | Edit: for context, I can program C#, Node/React, python and
         | Java, and have read a lot of high level code but minimal
         | exposure to systems coding.
