Covid career change – from cruise ship cleaner to developer

Good to know there’s another 10-15 years of high salaries before the gravy train stops. The number of people learning to code and switching careers now is insane. And anyone anywhere with a laptop and internet can do it.<p>I’m hoping I can stretch my career out by getting good at mentoring and management and helping all this new talent. But those entering now should seriously plan towards finding other sources of income as well by the time they hit 35+.

Most developers can&#x27;t actually code, once the motor skills has been assumed it is nothing but brute intelligence.. and then you can become a lead&#x2F;architect... It takes 10 years to become good enough. I feel pretty safe ;)

Funny that the whole thing reads like an ad for Scrimba but when asked what he&#x27;d recommend for others Scrimba barely makes an honorary mention.

I am ready for metric fuck ton of downvotes.<p>Why don’t people keep this shit a secret man? This profession has been looked down on for years, and this is just bad for my brand man.<p>I’m happy for everyone that makes it, but Jesus, ‘nocsdegree.com’, like we’re proud of this now? Keep it on the down-low.
