5,388 PointsI don't think it matters how many point you earn here. It is really about what you can do. I use to just watch the videos, but then I realized that I forgot almost everything I learned in a matter of days. It wasn't until I started creating websites without any type of tutorial was when I really began to learn web development.
But to answer your question.... umm I don't know.... 1,000,000

23,939 PointsWhat do you consider to be professional? Someone who codes for a living, someone who answers questions or teaches about coding, or what?

4,984 PointsLike the others said, the points here are great and all, but what really matters is what you can do. If you were in an interview and they asked you how many points you have here (which I kinda doubt they would anyway) and you said X many, then thats great. However, if they then asked how to do something and you didn't know how, then it really doesn't matter how many points you have. Almost all of the people I know in the industry don't even have a degree in the field. My bro in law got his degree in english (he now does a lot of back end programming). The point is, is that you can have a lot of points, or a fancy resume, or what ever, which definetly will help, but all that really matters is you know what your doing
