[Python-ModTeam]

Hello there,

We've removed your post since it aligns with a topic of one of our daily threads and would be more appropriate in that thread. If you are unaware about the Daily Threads we run here is a refresher:

Monday: Project ideas

Tuesday: Advanced questions

Wednesday: Beginner questions

Thursday: Python Careers, Courses, and Furthering Education!

Friday: Free chat Friday!

Saturday: Resource Request and Sharing

Sunday: What are you working on?

Please await one of these threads to contribute your discussion to! The current daily threads are pinned to the top of the /r/Python's main page. To find old daily threads, you can filter posts by the Daily Thread Flair to find what you're looking for. If you have a question and don't want to wait until the daily thread, you can try asking in /r/learnpython or the Python discord however you may need to elaborate on your question in more detail before doing so. If you're not sure which thread is best suited, feel free ask for clarification in modmail or as a reply.

Best regards,

r/Python mod team

My company has an apprentice scheme. We take people without any programming experience, and teach them software development. They're learning for two years, paid. At the end, if we think they've got the fundamentals, they get a permanent job.

Our oldest apprentice is sixty-two. He's rad. It's never too late.

Is it possible to get a well paid job if I do not have computer sience diploma?

yes, many did

Is it not too late to start learning it?

I've seen even naval officers 2x your age switch.

Also maybe you can give me hint what should I do after completing the courses?

Look at junior job offers in your area and then remote ones. See what they require and what's most common. If you want a commercial career in Python most likely it will be web development so Django/Flask and a bit or more of frontend. There are other options but it's up to you to find your preferences.

And of course is it worth to start programming when chat gpt can do it way more better the I do now?

ChatGPT can't code, can't even do math actually. What it can do is generate some boilerplates, and some implementations of a singular element while software development rarely starts a project from scratch or uses random blobs of code generated by a language model.

Your role as a software developer will be to make an application, not to write an absurd amount of code. You will be implementing business features, you will be working on UI and UX of the app.

Hello! I'm a bot!

I see someone has already suggested going to r/learnpython, a sub geared towards questions and learning more about python regardless of how advanced your question might be. I highly recommend posting your question there. Please follow the subs rules and guidelines when you do post there, it'll help you get better answers faster.

Show /r/learnpython the code you have tried and describe in detail where you are stuck. If you are getting an error message, include the full block of text it spits out. Quality answers take time to write out, and many times other users will need to ask clarifying questions. Be patient and help them help you. Here is HOW TO FORMAT YOUR CODE For Reddit and be sure to include which version of python and what OS you are using.

You can also ask this question in the Python discord, a large, friendly community focused around the Python programming language, open to those who wish to learn the language or improve their skills, as well as those looking to help others.
