1/ 📢 #CodeNewbies & #100DaysOfCode
In 2015, I (@AndreiNeagoie) was in your shoes. I wanted a career change. I wanted to get into tech.
So I taught myself to code using only free resources & got hired in 5 months. You can too.
This is how I'd do it in 2023.
Let's go 👇🧵

2/ Our #1 goal = efficiency.
Learn the skills most likely to get you hired as quickly as possible.
Why?
Because once you’re on the job, your learning will be 10x what it will be with any guide, course or bootcamp.
Plus, it’s way better to get paid to learn... right?! 🤑

3/ But wait... should you even learn to code?
Let's see:
✅Endless options to make great money
✅Work on interesting challenges
✅Flexibility to work when & where you want
✅Skill that will be valuable for years to come
And no, #ChatGPT isn't going to replace you.

4/ Don't take my word for it though.
Read this post by @webdev_cindy.
If she doesn't convince you, then maybe coding just isn't for you.

5/ "I'm convinced but Andrei, can I actually learn to code & get hired for free?"
The resources today are 10x better than what I had available in 2015. So, if I did it, you can too.
Don’t get me started but you DO NOT need a Coding Bootcamp or a Computer Science Degree 🙅♂️

Ok ok, you mean business. I like it.
BUT there is one super important point you need to know before you get started 👇

8/ ⚠ KEEP IN MIND:
The first 2 months will feel like you're climbing an insurmountable mountain.
Every tutorial or lesson you do will make you feel like you're the only person in the world that doesn’t know this stuff...
It's called Impostor Syndrome.
