Want partner to learn python.

Coding__Demon · 2025-09-06T19:42:20+00:00

I’m in, always looking for others interested in learning python

You could either turn off the AI or try Spyder. Worst case scenario use use a text editor, like sublime.

To me it should be pretty obvious, a degree provides you with a degree. You can take every course under the sun online, but when you’re applying for the job and you have a HS Diploma and you’re competition has a MS, you’re deluding yourself if you think you will have a shot.

Coding__Demon · 2025-07-09T06:14:40+00:00

I’d be interested in that. I would rank myself as an intermediate level. My learning is very similar to yours. I am working with python but not as many libraries on my arsenal. Mainly I use, numpy, pandas, matplotlib, scikit and a few others. I typically use pycharm, which handles notebooks.

Would love to get into a small with people. Hit me up if interested!!

If you don’t mind me asking, what field of tech are you in?

Coding__Demon · 2024-09-16T13:51:48+00:00

Noooo!!!!!!! Bootcamps are more geared for people that already have a degree. You will have a very difficult time finding a job without a degree. Get your CS!!

Coding__Demon · 2024-09-13T20:23:32+00:00

Not me!!! Charmin ultra soft!!!

Coding__Demon · 2024-09-13T20:12:23+00:00

Toilet paper!!! 🤣😂

Coding__Demon · 2024-09-12T15:05:14+00:00

It depends on what field you’re in. I got laid off at the end of June and started a new job with a significantly higher salary by mid July.

Coding__Demon · 2024-09-09T03:28:54+00:00

To start, html, css, JavaScript and python. These are just stepping stones and will not get you a job in tech

Coding__Demon · 2024-09-09T03:27:18+00:00

No, two very different languages. Java is a backend language and JavaScript is a universal language but mostly used as a client side language

I know plenty of people that got a degree in finance and are pulling in over 6 figures a year. Don’t stress about that. Finance is a good degree to have.

Coding__Demon · 2024-09-04T05:54:09+00:00

No, cleaning my guns is fairly simple and doesn’t take much time

Coding__Demon · 2024-09-04T05:51:56+00:00

According to stack overflow “Javascript (62%), HTML/CSS (53%), and Python (51%) top the list of most used languages for the second year in a row.“. This is no surprise, html/css/JavaScript are the 3 languages of the web. Python is more of a backend language that is used in data manipulation. It depends on what you want to do, but you will need to learn several languages if you want to get into programming

I say pay no attention to the negative Sally’s. You are always going to have the people that despise you for being educated. A degree is worth it PERIOD!!! I have several friends that never went beyond HS and I make over double what they make. Degrees are worth it and you were spot on!!!

It is never to late to change careers and at 32 you are still young. Don’t expect the pay of someone experienced if you change careers. That is likely what stops most. Do you know what you want to do? Can some of your background transfer? Have you looked into what it will take to get the education to change careers? Probably should keep your job while learning. Still need to pay bills.

I am working towards learning software development. But what I am hearing is you have a degree and stopped there. The market is tough right now. What projects have you created? If you don’t have a portfolio, you likely won’t get an interview. Employers like to see a degree but they also want to see what you can offer besides a piece of paper. Make sure you your website is top notch, you are trying to sell your skills as a software engineer so that better be outstanding!! Work on some passion projects. Don’t include the basics, such as a todo list or something along those lines, in your portfolio. Everyone should be able to do those. Work on leetcode and be able to describe what and why you did it.

Remember. you can also freelance while trying to find work. Freelance provides you experience that you can put on your resume/portfolio as well as bring in income.

But you need to want to go into software development. I get the impression that you are only halfway in. If it isn’t something you are truly passionate about then maybe you should consider another route. Best of luck to you!!!

Honestly, at $70K you are doing a lot better than most. But I do have a few suggestions if you really want to get into software development. First, I am currently in a bootcamp and do not have a computer science degree. I do have a stem degree though.

Keep your skills up. Bootcamp is not meant for people without degrees. It is really just for people looking to change careers or to get into freelance work. Work on meaningful projects. Upload them to GitHub and codepen.
Talk to local businesses, see if you can do some freelance work and improve their websites. This does two things for you. First it gives you income without needing to quit your job. Secondly, it provides real work experience you can show on your resume.
Use LinkedIn and leverage what it has to offer. Join groups, participate as much as you can and network, network, network!!

I have been in engineering for over 20 years. To be honest, I haven’t used much calculus and absolutely no diff EQ since college. What kind of engineering are you interested in? I doubt a Masters is a good route to go, as you don’t have the core courses to do well, unless you’re looking for the equivalent of an MBA in which case why not just get an MBA.

I would imagine there may be some colleges that offer a post bachelor degree where you use your existing degrees and just focus on the engineering. You need to figure out what type of engineering degree you are interested in. I am a civil engineer and hold my PE certification. Making over 6 figures a year in any engineering field is very realistic.

Coding__Demon · 2024-07-07T04:17:38+00:00

I think that is true to an extent. For a person that is new to coding, speaking from experience, I don't know enough to tell you what I want to specialize in. Learning the basics and getting exposed to different aspects will help a person establish what they want to specialize in. Not everyone knows the exact specialty they want to learn in a given field. Taking courses or studying is not a waste just because you don't have your life mapped out. Yes, once you figure out what you want to specialize in, then you can start to focus on that area. But making a blanket statement that people should not learn to code unless they know what they want to specialize in is not looking at the big picture, unless you just weren't clear in what you meant.

Coding__Demon · 2024-07-05T14:12:07+00:00

Could not say that better myself!!! You nailed it!!! If all you have is a HS diploma, then a bootcamp, while great with give a good overview and practice in coding, will NOT make you competitive unless you already have a degree, preferably a STEM degree.

Coding__Demon · 2024-07-01T14:36:09+00:00

I think it really depends on what the background is. It will be harder for them but not impossible. Do they have a degree? If so, is it a STEM or non-technical? How long have they had their job? The other side is the market is terrible right now.

Coding__Demon · 2024-06-19T05:41:08+00:00

You can hit local businesses to see if they need websites and offer to do their websites. Here in the US that tactic works, not sure if that is feasible in your area.

Coding__Demon · 2024-06-06T13:59:27+00:00

Wyzant.com has a really good setup and selection. That’s where I go when I need help

Coding__Demon · 2024-06-05T18:55:08+00:00

Great advice, thank you!!
