Thanks man, I am slowly getting back to my freewrite style where I try to include some humor and quirkiness, I am more amazed that your read it all than pleased that you liked it, but they are quite close :P

That's one thing I was worried about, most work places still require a uni certificate to hire you, and many master degrees (which I believe are more useful than the bachelors in any branch of studies) require an IT or similar certificate to enroll you. So I was debating myself about getting one but truth to be told, I don't think I have the time nor the cash to dedicate to it, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't want to.

I struggled a lot with loops and functions when I began because I wasn't following a schedule nor a learning timeline, but when I organized a syllabus and got a couple of JS courses, I was able to learn on the go. I am still far from the level I think I need, but I'm getting there.

Good to hear that you're also on this path, much luck man and glad to hear from you!
