Get a sex change and dye your hair pink.
Nigger you are going into the wrong industry if you are trying to escape liberal politics. Soy flows freely in tech. Trannys, gays, degenerates and diversity hires are 99% of the workforce. Its because in reality the companies do not need these positions; because the majority of the work is dumped on the "rockstars".
If you are getting into tech with no math background you are fucked buddy. Web dev is being outsourced, every nigger thinks they know python and back end shit takes a while to learn.
Honestly if I were you I would look into back end IT. Amazon Cloud/ Azure certs are relatively easy to get, have a great entry level salary (70k+) and get your foot in the door to network with the other teams and slime your way to dev ops/UX. Or better yet pen testing if you stay the IT route (good cyber security pen testers are worth their weight in gold and can easily pull 500k a year consulting ). Obviously thats down the road but its possible and cyber security will be around in 20 years.
Your advice is only so accurate. I work in tech and can say confidently that much of your assumptions are inacurrate as it pertains to smaller companies. In the mid-west at least.
That depends entirely on where you live in my experience.
When I live in Cali everyone was horrendous SjW lib or Republicuck. When I live in TX, they were all gun toting conservatives
Python and ML libraries
Once you learn one language and the rules, the practical rules are the same for all languages. Don’t overlook SQL, Visual Basic and C#.
Sql is the only language that isnt quite the same as the others. Relation database coding is a bit of a different animal from the other languages. I love it, but its definitely a different mindset.
Just learn the nuances of keys and indexes… many people don’t understand the foundation.
Nested joins to this day sht me. I just don't think that way
Took me a while. Regular coding just plain makes sense to me. Sql however took some actual time to understand
My advice is to call some local recruiters to see what kind of talent is hot. The only problem is technology shifts quickly. I do C++/C# and that has served me well. Python, NodeJs, javascript, Java, Go, R seem to be trendy now. Then of course, other trendy languages are Swift, PHP, Dart, Kotlin, MATLAB, Perl, Rust and so on. I'd stick with C++/C# or Java. They've been around a while and have a large codebase so there will be a need to maintain those code bases for a while.
Theres always jobs for c# coders out there.
Find a few headhunters / recruiters and call them. One off the top of my head is randstad. Tell them you are looking to expand your code knowledge and simply ask them what is the most in demand language for your area. They will probally tell you then learn just enough that you can BS an interview and learn on the job.
This is a good answer actually. Every job has such specific skills you are usually going to end up learning on the job anyway in any entry level position.
If you are very good at learning, you'll be proficient enough to hold down a job after about a year of studying. That's assuming you make good choices regarding what topics you pick.
I would recommend the following order: 1. Any prog language 2. Docker 3. Git 4. Hosting your code in a docker container through a cloud provider
Afterward, specialize in whatever seems interesting.
Never pay money for a (((certification))), thats a scam where people get diplomas for reading documentation. Instead, you should make real stuff, and add it to your own portfolio on GitHub.
Edit: Also, start using Linux right away. Install Ubuntu on an old windows laptop/desktop, and use that for all your coding stuff. Don't shy away from the terminal.
Find something you want to code that is reasonably simple but beyond your current skill level. Then set about coding it, breaking down the project into smaller and smaller pieces until one of them is small enough to google it. When you finish the project then start another that is harder do that a few times and by the end you will be a competent very entry level coder.
No one is giving you a good answer on your original question. There's some good advice in there about changing jobs, but I assume you just want to know a better learning resource than youtube.
It depends on your learning style, but I would highly recommend courses on Udemy. They have a number of good lecturers that do a better job teaching than most professors I ever had taking programming classes in college. And the prices are incredibly cheap, like $20 for 50-100 of lectures and demonstrations and a structured format with quizzes/tests. If you find a teacher you like, chances are they have dozens tutorials covering other languages at whatever skill level you are looking for.
I learned a few languages through that site and refreshed my skills by putting in 3-4 hours a day over a few months.
I don't know that you can rush it unfortunately, but I have heard good things about those boot camps as long as you don't overpay and do something stupid like take out a loan for it. Many Unis post CS resources for free.
