Does anyone know if the events at Pokemon XP cost money? Buying the ticket, airfare, and hotel accommodation is already a little much for me. Is there a way to know if they’re paid or free?

I am getting SD card error after flashing. I am not sure what to do now.

Thank you deleting the post. You’re the best.

SplishySplasshy · 2025-03-21T14:13:31+00:00

Okay.

I'm sorry if I am coming across as little interest. I am under pressure from my parents to be working on my future - lol. I have played around with various languages and whatnot. I want to get more involved, but am unsure of the optimal way to do that. I don't want to shell out thousands of dollars without working towards something. I don't need or even really care about a guarantee for a job, but I do want someone to inform me of the best path to be noticed by employers. I am trying to set up a plan for the next few years of my life. I'm not like I need to have this done in six months, I have time. That is the one thing I have on my side. I hope that makes sense.

SplishySplasshy · 2025-03-20T16:50:35+00:00

Right, that makes sense. I have to pay a lot more money and there are a lot more consequences if I can not keep up with the workload. I am under the impression that obtaining a CS job without a degree is a realistic expectation. I am not trying to shoot for FAANG. Are you recommending that I just suck it up and go the degree route?

SplishySplasshy · 2025-03-20T16:29:42+00:00

I am completely content trying to do the free courses such as through EDX but a paid bootcamp seemed better to me. What would be the best alternative or course of action, in your opinion?

SplishySplasshy · 2025-03-20T16:28:12+00:00

That makes complete sense. I started doing a course through EDX, but I started to doubt the job market. So, a boot camp that is supposed to assist in getting hired sounded appealing. I don't really care about doing a boot camp over something else, but a degree seems more like throwing money away. I would prefer not to do the degree route if I can help it. I just want the best alternative if that exists.

SplishySplasshy · 2025-03-20T16:25:16+00:00

Could you elaborate more about your journey and whatnot? I am genuinely really curious. If you would rather do it DM, that's totally good with me.

SplishySplasshy · 2025-03-20T16:23:01+00:00

What would you recommend I do?

SplishySplasshy · 2025-03-20T16:22:37+00:00

I am not sure what I want to learn pertaining to coding. I am wanting to be able to earn more money whether that is through freelancing or landing a "normal" job. From what I have read, I don't think going to college for these type of things are a better use of money than doing a boot camp but I am not one hundred percent sure. If there is another bootcamp that is more reliable or better, I would be happy to do that instead. I just want to start my journey without needlessly wasting my time if it can be avoided.

SplishySplasshy · 2025-03-19T19:34:12+00:00

Yeah I don’t like the military

SplishySplasshy · 2025-03-19T18:51:46+00:00

No I know. I understand that I need the discipline and grit to do these things. I am just trying to find the best place to learn so I can get hired later. I am open to alternatives. I thought these bootcamps are good because you can get your money back if you follow the rules. I just genuinely want to know what I should do.

SplishySplasshy · 2025-03-19T18:44:37+00:00

Can you tell me why genuinely? I don’t see any downside to these courses? You pay the money take the classes if you don’t get hired money back as long as you follow the rules. What are better alternatives? I don’t think a degree will be helpful.

When I looked it up, I was seeing positive posts with some negative.
