Try this: https://github.com/woadray/cs-bootcamp , it's my self made bootcamp. I came up with it as I'm 32 and attempting to switch career, even thinking about going back to university. It's hard but you

I had a friend in university that was from the US. Her parents learned on a previous holiday that the cost of one year of study in the US was 5 times more that an entire master degree in France. So she did everything here.

> You can study anywhere in the EU. Why limit yourself to France. I'm not in France anymore, I can come back depending on opportunity, but for now I'm in my home country where the cost of living is low so I don't burn my s

Any tips for someone just starting out, with 0 professional work experience attempting the same? I'm not aiming for 300K a year (more like 24K+), I just want a remote job while living in a low COL country.

How do you learn to program form first principles?

1. Find a remote infrastructure job in the data science / machine learning space. 2. Move abroad if the said job requires some onsite time, but I'd rather not. 3. Start my own business, my country is kinda late on software stuff a

Fake it till you make it. Be confident, human will follow anyone confident enough no matter how wrong they are, and that includes women.

I'm learning programming and computer science. I made my own small bootcamp that I follow full time, linked [here] ( https://github.com/woadray/cs-bootcamp ) if interested. I come from accounting / management,

Are you willing to give up your standard of living? If yes, just quit and find a less stressful / more fun job. I did it, albeit from management, and never coming back. Now I'm learning to program full time on the beach, in my hom

Share knowledge as much as you can, it's lifesaving for folks like me who are from poor countries. It's not as direct as giving money to buy food/shelter, but in the long run it pays. I'm learning computer science, for e

Any distro will do. It will be a big step ahead of MacOS or windows already in terms of privacy. Once you know more, you can always move towards more niche ones. I personally use Fedora on a ThinkPad T470/Dell Optiplex 7010, good mix o
