I spent $40 to learn to code. This is overly simplistic, but in general I spent only about $40 on paid resources. I didn't go to a coding bootcamp, and I didn’t go to college for a Computer Science degree. I've been working as a software engineer for the last 4+ years, mostly at a fast growing YC startup and more recently at a big scary FAANG company 😱. Why did I choose this path? What resources did I pick and how did I go about choosing them? And would I do anything differently if I were to do it today?
