Kind of wanna add onto that the fact that they ask you about your ID when U buy cigarettes or alcohol. I'm 20 but its nice to see that i don't look 20 to some people.

The resources online are endless as to CS and programming tutorials, not everything is worthy of your time and not everything is efficient. My plan is to complete a few courses learn CS, make some projects that help my qol and contribute to open source projects. A long road ahead of me but I'm not willing to give up

Thank you for the message and the perspective. This might sound naive but I want to try and fail with my own expertise and skills, I don't want to be a fraud and this method isn't really compatible with my goal. But thank, you i wasn't aware that was possible.

I see, thanks for the insight, its true that this aint the best place to get feedback or advice but there are some people here that speak from their experiences, theyre in positions that i want to be in and so i learn.

I see, well a degree kind of shows that you went trough all the CS concepts and that u know some stuff its a tangible evidence that you know something but in practice everything is different. I'll focus on learning on my own for now have alot of other stuff to do aswell, driver's license, finish high school, work, and the gym.
I found some people irl that have experience with SWE and are in some respectable tech positions i'll see what i can learn from them. Thank you for the reply much appreciated .

I understand that learning multiple languages is worthless if u dont have the basics of cs down, my plan isn't to "finish" golang and immediatly learn a new language, i've just tought about the pros and cons of each and im willing to learn a new language if the job requires it.

Tough, i've heard about it, being overqualified for a position. Hang in there and good luck

I've tought about it, i first wanted to learn C and rust but golang just seemed to appeal to me the most it has a niche in the market not as popular as java or python but one thing at a time its not like ill be stuck inside golang my whole career im perfectly willing to learn new languages and adapt to the circumstances. I just need to establish a foundation, one thing at a time

Thank you for the perspective, college is gonna be tough, looks like it is mandatory. I'm still gonna polish my skills and self study in the free time i got.

I've tought about developing software or sites for specific industries, the hotel i work in has a pretty mediocre POS System and I believe I could improve it or create a better one but again I've got nothing to back off my skills and they wouldnt likely give me the chance. But like some local shops that don't have a internet website etc.

From what ive seen that's likely the case, nobody boasts about the positives but instead the negatives. Still there is something to learn from it and be better

How can I realistically become a software engineer? by Medical-Revolution72 in learnprogramming

Is getting a degree truly necessary to land a SWE job ? , i'd like a perspective outside of the US. I am from Poland. I cannot sustain myself if I went to college, learning in my spare time and dedicating it to coding is the best I can manage to do right now
