I am self-taught and am co-founder/CTO of my second company. We have 35 or so employees, so we’re small, but it’s something I’m super proud to have created from nothing. I started many years ago with little projects. Building a simple website with Rails tutorials. Trying a basic Node app. Eventually I got my first internship making $15/hr, and they forced me to learn tmux and Vim (for which I am super grateful) and work on a variety of codebases and tech alongside more senior engineers. From there I had the skills to start my first company (still learning a lot along the way!) I have never been motivated by courses. I need to have a goal to be successful, so if you’re at all like me in that it’s difficult to stick to a course, I’d recommend you start a small project and learn to do specific things that help you achieve a little task.
