Hard, hard, hard! Not for the faint of heart. But this is a rewarding course if you stick through all the way to the end. It taught me the super important process of mind-mapping the assignment and understanding the steps before writing a single word of code. It taught me a process I can now use going forward with all assignments and projects, so no regrets!

This course kicked my ass. I've worked a bit with the file system before, but my experience is mostly on FE. It was fun and very challenging at times. I expected to move faster, but I took my time and the end result was very satisfying. I definitely feel more confident in my abilities after going through the difficult parts and coming through the other end. I'm still blown away by how good this course is put together.

It was pretty hard for me, but also rewarding near the end. Overall good course.

This course was challenging with a full time job as it's actually quite full with a bunch of moving parts, and going at a 1 lesson per day pace made it so easy to forget how everything works every time. However, as unfun the node transformations were (for me) the course still tackled a lot of very interesting concepts and the end result was mind blowing as a full stack dev, and is definitely bringing some ideas to mind for work. Excellent course over all

Honestly, hardest course I've taken on boot.dev. Learned a lot, and will probably use some of the src code for my own blog! Super awesome :)
