Is anyone here a SWE who started from scratch? No education or background in tech or IT, was working in an unrelated area, self taught through free online resources and ended up getting a job? I failed the non technical assessment for a bootcamp and that was my shot at finally learning with a place that could help me. That really discouraged me and made me feel like I’m just not smart enough to be working in tech at all, let alone as a SWE.
