How do transition to business to programming?
Right now I make about $80k as an analyst but I fucking hate it. Endless emails, presentations, bullshit interruptions, etc. The silver lining of my job is the opportunity to learn and experiment with different programming languages. I've developed scripts and produced small programs with the little spare time I have to eliminate repetitive tasks. I literally shaved hours off my daily workload. No one else in my department can do this and I feel severely underappreciated.
I'm in a weird spot. I'm not a complete beginner but I don't have the traditional programming background so I doubt anyone will hire me based on my credentials. Plus, I don't know anyone in the programming industry. Even now, I spend some time on the weekends filling in my gaps of knowledge. It'd be tough to take an entry level position and the pay cut that comes with it.
What can I do? Should I get certified in some way?

Programming is a low level job that is even worse than being an analyst, anyone who isnt stupid can plow through a book of java/python, its not a marketable skill anymore and your goal is not to be one of the people who are not stupid but the ones who are good at something valuable
What you might want to transition into is IT/software project management or a system analyst which might mean youd have to go back to school to get that MBA if you havent already

wow, thank god you're here.

well if you only plow through a few books you don't have any marketable programming skills that much is given.

I'm looking going into programming. Currently developing a business related application. Looking to hire someone off up work or something to clean up a few things and then try to sell it. I don't really want to work at a software shop you'll end up making a calendar control in asp classic rather than stuff you want

I made 137k last year making shitty CRUD apps and working like 2 hours per day. It's plenty marketable if you have any ability to market yourself. OP is probly already good enough to do it just from his small shitty scripts.
Go for it OP, build some shit, put it on github then apply everywhere and read Cracking the Coding Interview

only if you suck ass.
and if you can't even make a decent calendar control that is actually reusable you suck too much ass to be a code monkey.
