Why do you want to anon

I only hire 12 year old coders these days. Gotta start them young when they are willing to work for basically peanuts.

The fuck have you been doing for the past 5 years?

you'll burn out fast if you're doing it for the sake of learning... plan something;preferably a game, maybe in an integrated environment like unity, maybe bsrebones in python with gaming libraries. stick at it, have fun, get some kind of portfolio up and and running and youll have your 'in'.

If you like coding 12-15 hours a day.

>>9536929
Frontend/web apps: no
Backend/native apps: possibly
Blockchain & crypto: most definitely, stay poor NEET

>>9537042
not that hard to learn solidity desu

>>9536929
If you're an underage Pajeet and want to make 5k a year then go for it

It's never too late and at 23 you're still a babby

>>9537124
This desu

I work with people who picked up coding after 30

Its not like you are trying to become a doctor or singer or whatever lol

>>9536929
you can learn to code at any age. you wont get a job, but you can learn.

>>9536929
sure, if you have the time to live in codeworld 10 hrs a day for the next 2-3 years. Most people give up on it when they learn they don't actually enjoy doing it. If you have the drive to learn it, you're still have plenty of time. You just have to emerse yourself it it.
I burnt out on it after about a year, but only because I was more interested in hardware and circuit design. I have a job in multi-layer PCB design and enjoy seeing a project through from start to prototype to final revision. Just follow your interests.

>>9536929

Started at 24. Had a full-time job at 25.

>>9537250
I have an engineering degree and somehow ended up software engineering but dont have any actual coding experience in languages people are looking to hire for. what do?

Yes you’re too late
Anon don’t you see? When you hit 20 your ability to learn anything disappears

>>9537085
That may be so, but would you really want freshies & coding bootcamp grads programming smart contracts for managing your data and spending your money?

Blockchain is attracting the brightest minds on the planet, and until crypto companies/DAOs grow to scale, there’s no room for dead weight.

hi i'm a faggot can i learn to code

>>9537495
Any faggot is welcome to write JavaScript

>>9536929

>>9536929
Same position as you
Coding Dojo look it up. Almost halfway in

>>9537255
what language(s)?

>>9536929
I'm in my mid 20's. Tried to learn coding but it just didn't make much sense. I even went in with a purpose, making a video game from scratch (the engine as well so I wouldn't have to insert some company's logo). Gave up.

>>9537669
based

>>9537951

you failed because your goal was retarded

>>9537951

lmao

>>9538317
I don't get it what's so funny?

It was gonna be a 2d game just for fun.

>>9537951
that's an absurdly ambitious goal anon, failure was pretty much guaranteed

>>9538413
Really? Didn't realize making a 2d game was such an ambitious goal. Even making a short one would have been fun. I wasn't going in with intent to make a big game to sell.

The reason I gave up was that it was such a drag trying to understand coding. I was at just the learning stage, not even making a game.

>>9537951
>the engine as well so I wouldn't have to insert some company's logo
Congratulations on increasing your workload by 400% to sate your ego. Unreal Engine 4 only takes 5% of your profits.

>>9536929
23 is not at all too late. Any new people to programming I suggest golang as the first language to learn if you're going self-taught, it's dope and pretty easy to learn. Use the Goland IDE from Intellij trial if you want to try it out

>>9536929
>no computer experience

where the hell were you between 1995-2018?

>>9536929
I started when I was 22 and now work as a developer.

Gonna give you one hell of a tip. Sign up for codeacademy. And do their free course on python. Complete that whole bastard course. Its gonna suck. But every day you should put a hour or two in. You will see results (like learning piano) and it will become fun when you realize what you are capable of. Continue learning, and at a certain point you understand the code so good you can start learning from more experienced courses.

>>9536929
It's absolutely not too late. Get on codecademy first thing tomorrow. If you have a decent aptitude for it you'll feel like a fucking wizard in 4-6 months.

>>9536929
Only nerds do code stuff brah, just get some money and invest in stocks and shit haha

>>9538466
Make a text based idle game; they're the easiest thing I know of and a great way to get started.

Step 1: Put a number (X) on screen
Step 2: Increase X every 5 seconds
Step 3: Put another number (Y) on screen
Step 4: Every time X hits 10, increase Y and set X to 0
Step 5-???: Add one more thing to the game

Look into Godot Engine. It's open source.

I just watched an interview with Ray Dalio where he said that if you still want a job in the future you will need to learn to code, not to get work as a programmer, but basically you need to be able to put your expertise on stuff like investing or economics in the form of original algorithms and enter them into the big black box of the machine. He says that the human capacity for creativity and understanding cause and effect is something AI and machine learning won't catch up to for a long time.

I could totally see this applying to engineering, computer animation, audio engineering [creating the perfect workflow for shit hot sound], social media, even oldtimey crafts like designing violins or yachts where there are mathematical rules and shit but the expertise of the individual craftsman creates special, specific rules that distinguish the quality of the top tier products.

TL;DR - CIO and Founder of the world's biggest hedge-fund says programming is a means to keeping jobs in other industries.

Oh look, a pedophile cheap ass who wants CHILDREN to work for him for near-to-nothing, essentially classified as child-slave labor

Kys please.

I learned C++ back when I was in school around 2004.

Now I am 27, work in finance and forgot it all. It isn't that hard if you have a 3 digit IQ.

>>9537274
Come up with a project and do it in a new language.
