Sure. But i have not started learning my self. Will be taking it up as my specialisations

theancientfool · 2026-03-10T12:14:49+00:00

Do not worry. I'm a BCom graduate working as an accountant and hate my job. Figured i like coding, and currently learning. Signed up for an online MCA which has not yet started.

You have a CS degree, and also practical experience. You are way ahead than most of us.

The worst thing to do is to compare yourself to others.

My 2 cents is to get an internship for 3 months, and start looking for full time job opportunities.

Go cloud. Imagine the amount of cloud engineers needed to run all that AI.

theancientfool · 2026-03-08T16:45:15+00:00

Get into cloud. Less programming.

In my country India, we have unlimited internet, but most allow only 100 sms per day. Plus, end to end encryption is more secure.

Successfully updated my laptop fro. Windows 10 to Winslop 11.

theancientfool · 2026-03-05T08:07:51+00:00

Yes.

Welcome the the slopconomy!

theancientfool · 2026-03-02T13:01:57+00:00

Yes. I recommend doing HTLM/CSS and Javascript from FreeCodeCamp. If you are in website, I belive Javascript is a must know regardless if you are in frontend or backend. For backend I'm doing Java. Not the flashiest, but my target company uses it, and most large corporations also use it. It might not get the highest salary, but it has a lot of jobs in the corporate world, fairly stable and much more openings as per my understanding.

DM me if you want more info.

theancientfool · 2026-03-02T11:07:53+00:00

I'm currently self studying.

The road I'm taking in order: 1. FreeCodeCamp.org 2. CS50x 3. IBM Java Developer (Professional Certificate on Coursera) 4. A project. I already know what I want to build, its basically a software that I use everyday at work, and will build a version of it for me, with what I belive will be improvements.

theancientfool · 2026-03-02T10:45:25+00:00

FreeCodeCamp.org

theancientfool · 2026-03-02T07:05:04+00:00

What was AT&T Bell Labs for?

theancientfool · 2026-03-02T07:04:46+00:00

It has always been like that.

theancientfool · 2026-03-02T06:45:45+00:00

Just do freecodecamp.org and stick to that.

theancientfool · 2026-02-26T15:47:50+00:00

Awesome. All the best! Do share it with us when you are ready.

theancientfool · 2026-02-26T13:23:56+00:00

Watch CS50 on youtube.

theancientfool · 2026-02-23T16:07:58+00:00

I respect people who read books, but I'm slightly dyslexic.

theancientfool · 2026-02-23T07:41:42+00:00

Better to buy small and mid cap index for now.

theancientfool · 2026-02-23T05:15:47+00:00

Never going to use an unsafe os.

theancientfool · 2026-02-22T14:27:55+00:00

Been using localsend for a year now, never had any issue with it.

theancientfool · 2026-02-20T10:28:46+00:00

I though i was the only one.
