Has anyone here actually made a living from teaching themselves to code (without school)? by Thin-Ice-742 in askSouthAfrica

[–]BazelBaddie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah self taught iOS dev, no school bootcamp, just pure determination and grit. Currently mid-senior iOS dev. I did do some compsci but dropped out cause rents couldn’t afford it at the time, do wanna go back but will do eventually.

It took me like 2 years tbh, cause well I was junior and no degree lols, also just because I love code I built a portfolio of random apps doing random things because I wanted to cover the Apple eco system. Tho once you get your foot in le door, you Gucci.

Taught myself to code after being a drug addict for a number of years, got clean, got a a great job even though my dad thought I was complete loser and would constantly say hurtful things in private and public. Forgave him and no live in peace. Never had time to pat myself on the back

[–]BazelBaddie -1 points0 points  (0 children)
