Can you share your reason to go it alone, or why you ruled out a traditional learning option? One of my favorite mentees came in to a software development job from a biochemistry background. She’s got a knack for it and did a great job self learning a lot of basics, but I really saw some awesome improvement after she did a “CS masters bridge program” through NYU- https://engineering.nyu.edu/academics/programs/bridge-program-nyu-tandon/computer-science-bridge-program https://engineering.nyu.edu/academics/programs/bridge-progra... I guess it’s really meant to get you into a grad program, but I know she got a ton out of it as a career programmer.
