ehhhhhhhhh
> I am female
Either (male) or lies. Women age like milk too desu. Even late 20s look like 30+

What about design? I do not mind starting there and might even prefer to start there while I get coding up to snuff.

I'm working on a BS degree, but chances are I may not finish it until I'm 40 due to time and financial constraints.

I spent my formative years indoors so virtually no sun damage and I am a /fit/izen. I feel like the aging is going to come all at once though...kind of bracing myself for it.

>I'm 35 years old (I can pass for 25 years old if that matters and I am female
yeah nah

perhaps are you a 2D girl?

>>61068858
Yeah, I'm regretting mentioning that since it seems like everyone's going to fixate on that. Just some guy once advised me IRL to not bring up my age because of ageism in the industry and advised me to be as vague as I can be on dates on my resume for stuff that doesn't matter.

I am not claiming to be good looking.

Do you need me to repeat the last post that I wrote?

Hey anonette, I don't know how it is in Austin, but I'm in >London and i got a web dev job after teaching myself to code for 5 months. I had several interviews and without even being too skilled, I got the job just by seeming very enthusiastic.

I'd suggest you join Angel.co, it's where startups search for devs and all my inerviews have been from there, and it's always been them that have found me and called me in rather than me applying so the website is gold.

You don't need a degree for web dev. Don't waste money.

Also, as a fellow /fit/izen let me say that this job might drive you insane if you're not used to a job where you sit on your ass all day. If you're an introvert, do not work in a startup. Make sure to check out that they have good toilets too, not even joking. My old job had one pathetic toilet right in front of a table of guys where everything could be heard, and no bins so you can imagine what blood week was like.

Thanks anon! What frameworks did you focus on learning?

I will look into angel.co. I am an introvert, but I am ok out of my comfort zone. I don't mind sitting on my ass all day so long as I'm thinking - my current job has me sitting a lot but no thinking and it is awful.

I am probably going to still pursue a cheap degree though...it's a matter of pride at this point. I hate telling people I don't have a college degree.

>What frameworks did you focus on learning?
I just learned HTML & CSS very well, basic vanilla JS and jQuery, and basic React. My React knowledge is very poor and I think i'll abandon it for Angular or something, but having experience in it made employers excited lel

>my current job has me sitting a lot but no thinking and it is awful.
sound like my old web dev job. was a shithole that was.

>I hate telling people I don't have a college degree.
Is this just american culture? Anonetter don't go in debt just because someone might ask you whether you have a degree. Who the fuck cares what they think? I've found that people are actually more impressed that i don't have a degree and managed to find a job in tech.
