Chad Scira - Professional Web Engineer & CTO

It's been quite a while since I last posted here, but I just created a new video that I think WordPress users will find pretty informative. So, I wanted to share it here on Tumblr as well.

What do you all think about this?

This is an honest question.

Hey guys, it has been a longgg time.

Just thought I would share this issue I found back in 2016 with JP Morgan Chases Ultimate Rewards system.

Let me just say this.

Formal education is not really a prerequisite for most of the available roles in the software world. I only attended college for a couple of months, and decided a CS degree wasn't right for me. Granted at the time their web courses were at least 2-4 years behind in terms of real world usage (unless you wanted to work for some massive corporate software machine, this was 10 years ago).

I think the route I took is still an effective route

1) pick something that interests you

2) come up with some sort of project, or idea you want to make, or contribute to open source

3) start coding, you will learn on your way

4) repeat a bunch of times

After you feel comfortable enough apply for a jr position at a company, and use your projects as your resume. The current amount, and quality of freely avaible information is a MIND FUCK. When I first got into this I was lucky if I saw a forum post explaining how to do something the wrong way... 

Its an ever-changing field, which is why being able to learn on your own is much more powerful than taking a course in whatever... 

At the moment “real world experience”  is valued much more than degrees, and the barrier of acquiring such experience is pretty low.
