Trade schools for coding

Self-teaching is the best way.

You dont need a pricey code school but only the internet to learn to code. and even if you pay a fortune to get a grasp at syntax and semantics of some meme language there is still a 99% chance that you cant actually write anything useful. If you have what it takes to be a decent coder you dont need a school for it.

How will you convince employers to hire you without a certificate?

Develop credibility by learning a set of skills. Put it on a resume. I suggest getting involved with online projects. More employers are finding it annoying that fresh-out-of-college applicants are not able to meet expectations. Perhaps it's also that everyone has a degree or degrees and it doesn't mean all that much since most programmers are self-taught. Self-taught in this area shows you also posses motivation and genuinely enjoy your work.

Also, there is a trend of using online schools. I've heard about several people finding employment.

lol sure people with a degree in CS from an Ivy league cannot get a job? KEK get fucking real. Ivy league degrees are worth 50x more than your trade school shit and 500x more than your state college shit.

You don't. Not even 2 years of experience working as a software dev can help you get a job as a self learned, unless you get lucky or live in silimeme valley.

This is what pajeets actually believe
I work for a fortune 500 doing low level windows dev based around undocumented winapi calls
Everything I know is self taught/learned on the job and I have no degree. I can easily go to any other company after this. It's all about finding your own niche

I work at an actually respected company in the Fortune 50 instead of some no name place doing shady shit with Windows and everyone I know has degrees.

I don't work on any of the game teams, and they have to be competitive w/ government contractors for my position due to the small group of people who actually know how to do this

That is just your own anecdotal evidence. It still doesn't mean self-taught can't be hired to the same company. Many people have and always will. I know justifying the money spent is important because we don't want to admit some can reach that level for free. It's okay. We get it.

All pajeets have a fake degree from university from bangladesh. Only people in the western world can afford to be self taught.
