Gentlemen.

I'm a self-taught 31M that's been learning web development (Javascript, CSS, HTML, Node.JS, React, etc.) for a little over the past 2 years via a number of online resources. I also have some familiarity with Python, and am obviously familiar with Git/GitHub.

My question for you all is this: do you think it's possible nowadays for someone like me to successfully break into web development, or the technology field in general without a computer science degree?

Can it be done? Can I do it, even?

>Can it be done?
Anything can be done as long as you're in the right place at the right time.

>Can I do it, even?
Most likely not software development, not as you are now. Your skills are too low. The market is currently swamped with people, so without the CS degree that everyone else has, you won't even get past HR. Also, I believe specializing in only web development is dead (or only back end, etc). You should be able to do do everything, including: front end, back end, and database at a minimum. Also, the current interviewing fad is still asking leet code problems (leetcode.com), so if you've never done them before, you'll need to start practicing them for a while since no one is good at that sort of thing if they've never done it before. That alone will save you from a very demoralizing first interview experience if you ever get one.

>tech field in general
Yeah probably. Most people in tech as a whole don't know shit, let alone programming, so being able to program actually puts you ahead of them. Those jobs won't be dev jobs though, so you'll be unlikely to do much if any actual programming work in them.

>>34420523
Sure why not? If you don't have a degree to speak for your skills then you just have to get some other form of proof like projects, certs etc
Just know that "self tought" can range from a script kiddie to an actual expert
Look for a speciality and become unbeatable in it. And some unknown public sources won't be enough for that I'm afraid

>Favorite thing about your tech interest/job
Honestly, the freedom to do what I want. I wouldn't trade it in for anything. Being able to choose what I work on allows me to never burn out and never feel stressed because each project I work on is something that I genuinely want to be doing. Perhaps I could be making a lot more money and doing a lot better in life if I choose otherwise, but I've never been the type to like the concept of waging.
>Interests
Well, I have a few side projects; fixing up this old car I bought and upgrading it, currently working on my personal fruit garden. Got to eat some of my own apples this summer. I also have coding side-projects: I am working on an optimized game engine in .NET for fun, and also a XAML visual component library for my own convenience
>Looking for
Either people who want to learn programming (I'm working on a course right now), people who like listening to autistic technical yappings and being a rubber duck for me (allowing me to understand and resolve problems by explaining them to you), or cool technical people who want to yap to me about stuff they're passionate about. I have a few friends and we all basically just send walls of texts to each other whenever we talk about anything.

By the way, I freelance and I love working on cool projects and start-ups from time to time so that would be good too, and sometimes I connect people I know who need a professional simply because I know so many people in this field, so if you're just seeking to network that's okay too. Just not sure how useful /soc/ is for that.
