Not everyone earns Valley salaries. Especially not those outside the US in third-world countries. And some, like myself had their life savings wiped out when life got cute. Anyway, glad OP has the opportunity to do what he's doing. Did

Right? My blog post on the same subject would be more on the lines of "freak out about how to have a roof over my head next month and not have my family's health insurance cancelled..."

I did it at 32. Went from VFX to react and react native dev. I started with HarvardX CS50, they teach you coding and coding concepts from scratch. Highly recommended. After that, do side projects, look for junior jobs and viola! You'll

I'm working on a brainstorming/idea generation site as a side-project. No idea if people would want this. Which lead me to down the path of wondering if there are any idea pitching sites. In the meanwhile, I just created a subredd

Every time I read about people with hyper-strict future modeling schemes like this, I think of Nassim Nicholas Talebs Black Swan theory. These kids would be one accident, unexpected disease or economic crash away from being abruptly summone

That's cool, congrats! May I contact you with some questions about doing something similar?

I did it at 33. Changed from animation and VFX to front-end development. Here's what I did exactly; * Quit and lived like a beggar for 6 months. It was tough, I burned through all the little savings I had and ended up having to borrow

I voted with my wallet. After owning every iPhone since 3G up to 5s, I ditched Apple, and bought a new phone last week specifically because it had a headphone jack. My WHOLE PHONE cost only a little bit more than Airpods alone. It's a
