Exactly, I'm 27 hours from finishing
I didnt waste all these years for nothing
No such thing as "finished" in the programming world.

Depends on where you live breh. This is true in Los Angeles but not Gainesville Florida
imagine this clown interviewing you
He claimed to work at Google and Facebook. Both companies you need to be "cultural fit" to join.
You can check reddit and teamblind to see a lot of them think like him.
Seems like an easy job tbh. My wife works in HR. A lot of these postings are put together by people that couldn’t tell you what any of this means. I work in DevOps which this post screams. They don’t expect you to be a master at any of these things but have experience with some of it since you’ll probably be working in a team environment. Right now my job has me doing Python, touching ELK stack stuff, using Ansible and managing it all with Git. I won’t even touch on the human/internal customer facing aspect. And we work in an AGILE 2 week sprint environment.The requirements for this job is ridiculous

But brehs gonna be in here talking about "that's basic"
I didn't make this thread to shyt on the programming world. Just wanted to give a REAL perspective of it. Everyone thinks it's just this great lucrative field to excel in (which it can be), but don't give you the real and tell you just how much knowledge and struggle is involved. It might take YEARS before you start reaping the benefits of a software/programmer job, and that's if you're able to get in.
lol bro I dropped out of school going for my CS degree. I no longer work in that field but honestly, this isn't that difficult. And I'm saying this as a dude that hasn't touched the industry in a decade and did most of my learning outside of school:
That job description is just a bunch of keywords thrown together. HTTP and TCP/IP are protocols. You don't "learn" those. Whoever wrote that just threw them in there like they threw Network Design, Computer Science, Cloud, and Oracle in there. Just buzzwords.
My SQL/SQL are essentially the same thing. If you know databases, you know SQL. If you understand any high level programming language, understanding the basics of creating a database is cake. Download shytty MS Access and practice, less than a week later you'll get the fundamentals down before the interview. Hell you could even open up Excel and create dummy databases.
HTML/HTML5/CSS - come on. A 5th grader can figure this out.
Python/Jquery/PHP - web developer work. I mean, I would hope so if applying for a web development job. Python is usually one of the first languages people learn because its that damn quick to pick up. It's also great. PHP is scripting and if you know C/C++/C# or Java, this is almost like an extension. JQuery is also scripting. In fact they pretty much overlap the "HTML" requirement like most of the keywords here.
There is definitely some truth to the high barriers of entry for the jobs listed. And true - some of these people creating the job listings are out of their minds with the requirements they ask for. But in this case and the other, these aren't really a big deal. Again, if you are legit good at development, many of these are things you've already done. And outside of specific full architecture requirements, things you can pick up quickly with a bit of playing around.
OP ain't trying to dissuade, he's being real. This ain't no get rich quick scheme. A lot of people apply and very few actually get employed. But in my own opinion, there are definitely better paths outside of programming.

One of the easiest ways to get into tech is through an internship. If you black and live on the west coast, you're going to struggle getting your foot in the door because a lot of recruiters out here are Asian or Indian. They will not hire you as a black personl, you're better off having a white person as a recruiter.
At least on the east coast getting connections in tech is easier.
A tip to any black person trying to get into tech: Move to Atlanta, DC, Charlotte or Nashville. Avoid the west coast.
You don't need to learn code to make 6 figures in software.
There's customer success, user experience, project management, program management, business analysts, product manager, product owners, scrum masters...at every level. Jr, Regular, Sr, Lead, Manager, Director, Sr. Director, VP, Sr VP, C-Suite etc
I can go on and on and on and on and on.
There's at least a handful of people at my company with those roles making 6 figures. MAYBE the exception are business analysts if you take away bonuses. But they usually progress to product owners / product managers.
Regardless. The talented software engineers I work with everyday spends most of their day Googling and writing the same function over and over and over and over again.
If anyone in here is set on learning code then pick one of these 3 areas

- Data Science - Learn R, Python, and to a lesser extent SQL
- Front End - VUE or React
- DevOps - just have a general familiarity with EVERYTHING

No problem my G,
Actually I dont work in Development, I work in the Virtualization/Cloud Infrastructure field, which is more system Engineering type stuff
Being a pure developer isnt necessary to make good money in tech. Development or coding is its own skillset and if its something you dont enjoy, then just stop. It all depends on how you're wired mentally.
are you better suited to IT operations/infrastructure, Infosec, Networking, Business IT/project management?
OR
Is coding/development your calling.
Either one is going to get you paid if you bout your hustle.
breh, unfortunately you're right about this shyt..
This is one thing I can give Trump credit for which is addressing how companies have abused the H1B visa program but he has kind of flip flopped on that after business leaders get in his ear.
Sanders had the right idea about this shyt, at least back in the day. This is why he got my vote.
The neo-liberal left has effectively appealed to the sensitivities as it relates to race in regards to their base and has positioned anti-worker policies that only benefit cooperations as really being open-minded, non-discriminatory, and inclusive ideas. It is like putting a woke wrapping on the most corporate-friendly and exploitive policy around. The voters don't see the exploitation that takes place with this program and the working conditions companies put H1Bs through and instead just follow the thinking because its increasing "diversity" it is good.
Dude this video is from like 2007. I'm pretty sure Sanders has flip-flopped on his opposition to H1b visas like all Democrats. That's why I stopped supporting him along with his stance on Reparations.
I'm gonna make one more quick money grab before Democrats win and tank the labor market. If you don't make big money by the time they open the borders for massive immigration your screwed. Wages we're stagnant the entire 8 years of Obama's tenure. And it's gonna be worse under Biden who's even more in bed with Corporations from his dealings in Delaware.
Joe Biden’s politics can be explained by Delaware’s shadowy past
OH. Forgot to mention for brehs in college. I don't know what the CS equivalent is but in engineering, there is the NSBE which is for black engineers. Get in on that shyt. They have job fairs usually specifically for that organization and a lot of companies like Boeing and Raytheon and the like go to those fairs specifically because government contracting organizations get incentivized to hire black engineers. Take advantage of their job fairs and resource. I can't remember if CS major could join the NSBE also but I'm sure if they can't there is a CS equivalent.

IMO, I don't recommend ATL to anybody for entry work outside of regular IT. We getting cali folks here. Chicago/DC has more jobs than here.
