Serious title: I’m scared of math but I want nothing more than to teach my dropout ass to code so I can stop stocking Shelves and become marketable/desirable to a country that isn’t literally a decade or so away from gassing me.
If it helps, i vibed with python real hard in a 101 course, but all that hexadecimal shit kicked my ass when I signed up for a 103 being cocky and all.
I believe you. Do you happen to have any self-taught/boot camp coworkers? I’m kinda asking out of seeking to emulate reasons.
Yeah, I've worked with some brilliant engineers that came out of bootcamps and I think everywhere I've worked had had at least one bootcamp or self taught engineer.
Actually come to think of it, the senior engineer I'm trying to poach from a former company came from a non traditional path like that too — a lot of my favorite coworkers have.
One bootcamp coworker from my very first full time job who started it of bootcamp around when I did started out of college (+ internships) — we compared salary once and she started 20% below me but caught up in about 3 years.
That’s heartening to hear, thanks
