the interview was for a javascript job and i fucked up basic javascript like explaining what a function closure was
literally nobody ever asked me language specifics in an interview before so i wasn't prepared for it. i'm a brainlet but i'm a brainlet that can still do leetcode mediums in about 30-45 minutes.

My advice to you would be to finish up school. It'll be rough, but it's the best way to get back on track.

I know that's the easiest path and I've tried to go back this semester.
I couldn't do it. I was on edge the two weeks I've been on campus. I didn't even go into one of my classes because I failed it last semester and I'm afraid to go back. I find it hard to even admit that I failed and I didn't even tell anyone about it.

I don't think things are different now and I think if I go again I'm going to fail.

I haven't had a job yet and I'm 26 LOL

I am just worried that it may have consequences in the future, this is my first time applying for an internship and I am a NEET who just returned to college. So far my first quarter is going great and I will get a +3.3GPA

If they only reject me that's fine, but if they are going to put me in a blacklist for wasting their time then I am actually scared. They are asking for basic linux sysadmin skills, python and bash.

I feel that I barely meet those requirements... and maybe I will regret not applying.

i'm shut the fuck up and apply. you'll regret it if you don't
they don't blacklist you they just put you into a rejection pile for 6 months to a year, which is when you're going to reapply anyways

python is piss easy
linux literally just download ubuntu in a VM and start writing your side projects in it because developing on windows is cancer
bash do above and do as much shit as possible in the terminal

if an utter waste of life like me could do all of that then so can you

based suicide-man gives great advice, yet is doomed to fail personally. such tragic.

I just passed the 6 month mark in my job as a junior full-stack web dev. It's not as good or as fun as when I was just an intern here, and nobody gave a fuck what I did, but it beats any other job I've had so far (about 10). I only make 40k a year, but my bills are paid, and I have money to buy my self something nice every paycheque.

my advice is meaningless because it didn't work so who am i to give it?
that said, most people have more potential and a less toxic mindset than me. they'll make it where i didn't
