Happy New Year to you and your families, may 2025 be your best. I revisit 4 year old advice about learning to code fast, does it still apply? The truth about learning to code.
Key takeaways:
My Coding Journey: I began learning to code at 35 and didn’t land my first job until I was 39—it's been a challenging yet rewarding path.
The 3-Month Myth: Many people promote the idea of becoming job-ready in just a few months, but I explain why that’s unrealistic.
The Importance of Commitment: Success in coding requires dedication and time—learning the basics is just the beginning.
Market Realities: I discuss how the tech job market has changed and why it’s crucial to stay engaged and keep learning.
Finding Joy in Coding: I emphasize the importance of passion over money and how pursuing what you love can lead to fulfillment.
Introduction
In this video, I take a trip down memory lane to rewatch my older video discussing whether you can learn to code in just three months. Spoiler alert: it’s not as simple as it seems!
My Personal Journey
I started coding at 35, faced countless challenges, and finally got my first job at 39. I'll share insights from my journey and how I feel about the quick-fix mentality that often surrounds learning to code.
