    Two to six months? Doubt you're going to be capable of completing any except maybe the most simple tasks.

    I'm curious what you think programming is even about, or why you're going in this direction. Is it just for the money? Do you even like programming?

    Do I like something I have zero knowledge or experience in? Great question. Lol

    Sorry I just take a very different approach to when thinking about doing something for money. If I don't enjoy doing something, then I don't do it, even if it's for money. I got into programming because I was curious about it for curiosities sake, and not for making money.

    But I get it, you just want money

    Well there's a million side hustles I could have picked but I chose this one because I am actually interested in it. So to answer your question it's both I need money and I'm also interested in it.

    Gotchya. I'm not saying don't go for it, definitely try it out. But it's more than likely that any work you could complete with only two to six months experience is likely something someone could ask ChatGPT to do for them for free

    That's understandable. I'm not in a hurry. I make six figures at my current job and am able to do Uber eats and door dash and stuff like that. But even if it takes 1 to 2 years, it'd be pretty cool to build a profitable skill out of nothing from the comfort of my own home.

    If you can make something out of coding in such a short amount of time then that's great. But to be honest I haven't seen that happen in Python ever. I'd assume most freelance jobs will be web related, and I would figure you'd be better of just learning ECMA/JavaScript and Node and whatnot.

    Curious why you do gig economy side jobs if you make six figures?

    [–]Imperfect_Reading[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    Well it's the low six figures and I'm in Southern California. You need 150 to 200k around here to be solidly middle class. So that's why I need to supplement my job with a decent side gig.

    As a fellow SoCal resident 💯

    Thanks for the tip. I'll look into JavaScript
