I'd learn to code today, if I were to start over(blog.atchyut.dev) |
I've been a software engineer for sometime now, and had so many people I know ask me how to get into tech, and I recommended some to simply learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript and then React, Next.js or Node, Express etc. to land their first frontend or backend role and figure things out from there, but in 2024, I think that's not enough, a lot of companies are actively choosing not to hire new grads or new programmers, and I feel people learning to code should learn to 'learn' instead of just learn to code. Hope this guide helps someone.
I always see PLC jobs and think wow, those guys make 3x what I did at my peak and can't be replaced by AI as easily, and are sometimes still needed in small towns where nobody needs a regular embedded developer....
Meanwhile, whenever I do a personal FOSS project or a volunteer thing, I find myself using concepts from PLC and SCADA.
