Hello,

I have been thinking about learning to code.

At this moment I'm doing freelance work in a very saturated field with low paying jobs (graphic design). I do understand that coding is also over saturated AF, but at least people in that field are getting paid significantly more.

My goal is to be able to get some type of little job in the next 90 days.

Here are two strategies which came up with:

1. HTML + JavaScript

Why I even look in to that? Well, I do have basic knowledge of how to create a web page and most importantly it is something intuitive for me.

The biggest downside which I see is that this field is extremely competitive. Pretty much every third Pajet on Fiver and Reddit is offering his HTML and CSS skills.

2. Making Python bots.

I have done that type of stuff before then was playing RPGs. I don't see that many people doing that type of stuff. But on the over hand not that many people even want that type of service. Simply because we have plenty of automation software available for free or for small price.

Any anons who have learnt to code on their own? Do you work in house of freelance? Any suggestions?

You sound new as fuck, so I'll keep my answer simple. Sure, if you think you know computers and can find someone to pay you to style their website or fix random bugs, or maybe even take on a small contract to add a feature, try learning HTML/CSS/JavaScript. Those 3 work together, so it makes sense to understand each in the context of web design/websites. If you manage to find work, expect minimum wage, because that's what you're worth (just be realistic, you aren't a professional right now). Start from there. You can use w3schools (google it) and lookup JavaScript MDN (Mozilla dev network) for JS documentation. There is always a need for web fucks, but your best shot is friends/family/etc. Just see if you can find work, take it seriously for a few months, and if it doesn't work out then just move on no big deal.

I have a listing on fiverr, but so far no bites. I think I'm charging way too much, but what I'm offering is basically to do your university projects, and those take time, so I'm not going to sell myself short you know?

Unfortunately it is very oversaturated with Indians, as you said, selling their poor skills for $5

People going to that website looking for help will have a hard time telling the difference between a competent person and a pajeet unless you present yourself better, I suppose.

old thread but i'll bite.

Field is covered with foreigners looking to do the shittiest work for a green card. Many gov jobs require clearance that foreigners can't get. So there are openings there.

They look at experience. Get a low paying job. Hop every 2-4 years for a salary boost. Never leave for a period of time or you'll be outed. After saving some cash (or if you got it) get a degree to boost your pay. Another tip, Learn a fucking NICHE language that nobody cares about (CRM/SOL). Name your price

90 days is nowhere near enough time to write even competent Python bots that haven't already been written by a million other Pajeetsunless you're a complete NEET that has Godly amounts of discipline and dedication to spend every waking moment of the next 90 days immersing yourself in learning.

Work through this book if you're interested in learning Python in a way that's geared towards automating stupid bullshit that normies usually do by hand, and drop me an e-mail if you have any stupid questions you need answered.

What do (you) think about pluralsight? I am university dropout, currently employed as junior full stack web app developer, afraid that I will hit celling of what can I learn on my own, and it seems to offer some good base of programming knowledge. It's quite expensive, 300 USD per year, but you can get 3 months for free for creating free MS account.

I have tried freelancer.com a few years ago, it's filled with pajeets which are content to work almost for free, and when I was finally able to get a job from some Canadian entrepreneur, I discovered that I did not have enough self discipline and programming skills for freelancing. If you want to be a freelancer, get a job first.

I made similar(but low effort) thread here some time ago, what I have discovered so far which might be interesting is:

>make themes or modules for popular (php) frameworks

I can't into aeathetics but even remaking modules and offering them cheaper seems good

>create mobile apps

Just recreate some selling game

>create niche web apps with more value than current blog-tier blog posts

This is what I am starting right now, but I am not sure how will I monetize it.

I have learn to code in JS HTML CSS PHP for my own needs. Starting with a tutorial, then trying to code things myself. When I didnt know how to do something, I was looking at the manual or looking if a StackOverflow thread hasnt been published about it. There are alot of code snippets on StackOverflow. I was able to learn to code pretty fast this way, despite I may not be as formal as professional coders.

I'm also starting to learn autoit to make some bots. This coupled with userscripts in JS is useful to automatize some processes and repetitive tasks at work to be paid doing nothing

I have worked as freelance graphic designer too. Indeed its saturated asf, however coding and web coding look saturated too if you don't have good commercial skills to sell your shit.

Every field that let you work at home without a boss in front of your computer is saturated because its the easyway, alot of guys want to do that.

But it's not because a field is saturated that you can't make money from it, you just have to be smarter than the others
