With NO knowledge/experience, can you get into the coding/programming industry?

[rbksNgirbauds]

I don't know shyt about shyt. But this year I plan on taking up a trade and figured why not this one, that shyt nom contact.

Again, I don't know nothing about nothing when it comes to that industry but Ive always been book smart. But my question is , if I've never shown any interest in this type of stuff (computers and what not) my entire life, is it a wise idea too look at this trade?

I'm not expecting to make a certain amount, like I said I'm completely blind, I just want a cert to fallback on cuz I ont trust the peckerwoods at my gig.

Are there any mega threads on this?

Plz. Rep pending

In a word, no.

Someone could, but that someone would have to become completely dedicated to the craft. And even then, they would be competing against others who have years of experience / head start.

You could go for it, but you'd be competing for the same jobs against people who went to Stanford and MIT, in a field where credentials matter.

Indians, Asians, CACs and White pitched voice negroes whom only out for self mostly dominate that field. Good luck champ

 

[Mr. Togo]

First you are gonna have to lie on your resume but then the interview process is designed to weed those type of people out, so probably not

Most entry level jobs require like 10+ Years experience or some shyt like that. ENTRY LEVEL

Shieeet that’s most jobs nowadays

nah I don't qualify then. Didn't know the politics played a major factor even in that industry too

If you smart you smart

It would have to be nepotism or a situation where you’re very good friends with hiring managers.

It may be pretty difficult. But I think it depends on how much time you're willing to spend, and not even in the sense of studying. There are going to be times you put your program together and it doesn't work as expected. Are you willing to spend the next 2 days looking through your code just to find out you mispelled something? If you can do that, then you'll be fine.

I know we get the label of being socially awkward, but there is a reason for that.

You will likely get a more in-depth conversation in Six Certs, especially these two threads:

OP i don't understand.


When you say no knowledge and no experience, are you asking can you go from knowing nothing to applying for a job today?


The answer to that is emphatically hell no. What I would suggest is that you go learn and get your skills up, homie.

Then you can apply once you learn.

Lol naw naw naw naw naw. I meant I'm willing to shell out the funds and go to school for it.
Intellectually it's very little I don't think I can do when I apply myself, I'm moreso worried about if the politics is super heavy in that industry. I have tattoos and a deep voice. Plus I'm growing my plaits back out.

As long as you can showcase your skill within a time limit, follow industry standards and communicate, then yes. What i mean by communicate is, you need to understand what other developers are talking about, the abbreviations, the technology, or you'll be lost.

"Backend uses Django, Frontend is Vue. Files are on S3 bucket and database is on RDS, repo is on Gitlab, SSH into server to pull master, then build AMI on AWS and deploy"

In this sentence you need to know the terms/technology "Django", "VUE", "S3", "RDS", "Repo", "Gitlab", "SSH", "AMI", "AWS" .. All Abbreviations, this is how coders talk and new technology is coming everyday. There's been times where i had no idea what the fukk was going on

No to all of it, you might as well ask...."If I have no music experience, can I produce music for The Weeknd?"...

Programming is a tough field to gain access to without any experience.

Plenty of online courses you can dabble in...
