re: "Learn to Code"

The computer field is like the medical field so I say this strictly from an educative standpoint (not mocking you)… to say “I want to learn code” is like saying “I want to learn medical”…


It depends on what you’d like to do. If you want an entry level job without spending years in college or 6+ months in boot camps you could look at job openings and get an idea of which languages to learn.


Piggy backing off of that advice (looking at job openings) there are now much more affordable boot camps to learn specifically what said job is looking for.


Now to be a Debbie downer. They tout this as a growing field but there’s a shitload of young adults who have been doing this since they were kids and obviously all of those who went to college for it along with the people who went to boot camps. Idk what your previous profession was but if you’re looking to supplement a 100k+ career with an entry level programming position then it will likely not happen.


There is also leet code which presents problems in the workforce to solve to give you practice and know what to expect on specific jobs.

Best of luck to you! I’m sorry about your situation.
