People hear the words code and/or programming and get the face.Yeah, people need to get in on this ASAP. You would think oversaturation would cause the market on this to bottom out, but 2 things keep that from happening.
1. More and more companies and systems are requiring devs
2. Not that many people know how to code despite this trend.
Which is funny to me because if I compare my level of coding when I had my first dev job (primarily debugging, documentation, and library creation) to what I know now.... I didn't know shyt
I promise anybody on this forum. If you are unemployed, you can self-teach enough C++/Java in 4 weeks to get a job making 55k-65k easy. If you keep leaving the company after each project you do, you'll be 6ix figures in a matter of years.
And people wonder why IT is such a sought after area. Its free money for minimal effort
One of the first classes I had to take in undergrad was a programming class (C++). I took a Java course after that, then dabbled in a bit of Perl. That ish was very beneficial to me over the years. If you're a person that likes structure/logic, programming is the perfect field to go into.
