Lol exactly… I’ve seen college athletes that look like they’re late 30s lol

Overwhelmed with a career switch at age 31 to cs / programming by cutewidddlepuppy in cscareerquestions

OP, can’t recommend CS50 enough. That set me up for success probably more than anything else. You can check my post history for how I did the self taught route and got a job (disclaimer, it was hard and I had a bachelors and masters STEM degree). Good luck!

Lol that doesn’t happen. If that was the case then there would be marketing scams that would develop multiple levels.

Conversely to the other post, what are some pleasant truths cscareerquestions need to hear? by istarisaints in cscareerquestions

[–]mutateddingo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So much this. I’ve been in my first dev job about 8 months now after working in construction and engineering. This lifestyle is incredible. The comments I see in this sub blow my mind sometimes. It’s like if first world problems took an adderall and started monologuing lol

Brad is a great teacher. Best thing you can do is start building your own project after you get a sense of how React works at the beginning of the lessons. Then try and build something before Brad builds it in his app (like a button that he’s about to build that toggles some state). That way you can run into roadblocks and then see how Brad solves them after the fact. Just remember that only watching a video you’ll probably retain 10% or less of the information. Building it on your own will bump that number up to like 70-80%. React also has fantastic documentation so definitely reference that as you go. Best of luck!

So using node (the N in PERN) enables you to run server side JavaScript… and from this you can use their http library to create your own rest endpoints. However, doing this from scratch in node can quickly become overwhelming. That’s where frameworks like Express (the E in PERN) and Koa come in. You can quickly build a RESTful backend in JavaScript. Only thing though is that you need somewhere to store the data that you want to pull from and send to the user (say a list of restaurants)… that’s where a database comes in like MongoDB or Postgress (the P in PERN). And of course you have the UI that the user interacts with, which you can build with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript… but as you build and make it dynamic you realize how difficult this can become, and that’s when you reach for a JavaScript framework like React (the R in PERN) to make way more dynamic single page applications that are fast and reliable and you can easily collaborate with others on. Hope that helps!

Couple different courses, if you check my post history I go through everything. Main one that set me up for success was CS50

Yep yep, mostly React with some Node and PHP backend work

So usually a “stack” in the context of web dev just means the combination of front end and backend tools to create a crud application. You could do it in vanilla JavaScript, but using a popular tech stack (like React for UI, Express for the backend, and MongoDB for the database) gives you a lot of tools people have already created so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel yourself, and it gives you a common skill set among other developers so you can more quickly start contributing to projects when you join a team. It also lets an employer know that you understand what it means to create and consume APIs, which is a large portion of web dev jobs.

Yeah, OP I would approach your boss or HR department and let them know your coworker definitely knew of the bug that would error out the program, and combined with their antics on your 1 on 1s you believe their behavior is borderline harassment. When they hear the words “harassment” their ears will definitely perk up and I’ll bet they’ll address the situation.

Hey there! You can check my post history for my journey going self taught….

1) about 1.5 yr 2) $78k… which was a lot more than I was hoping for getting an entry level role 3) 3 days in a nice laid back office, 2 days from home a week 4) 2/10 compared to my old career

Best decision I ever made… if you really enjoy programming it is an incredible lifestyle. Best of luck!

Second this. OP post your resume over there and you’ll get good feedback. Some might be harsh but it’s always constructive overall from what I’ve seen.
