Any successful self taught coders/programmers? Aware me on how you did it. 38k reps

[Ripper908]

Thinking about a career change and coding/programming seems to be a big thing these days

How hard is it to get into? I see alot of vids on self taught people who claim to be successful and make a good living doing it without a degree

Figured it is something I can teach myself on my spare time and go from there. I will always have reliable income in the mean time or if I decide it's not for me

Harvard offers a free course called cs50 that can lead to entry level positions

So did any miscers successfully teach themselves how to code and be successful at it? if so how did you go about doing it

Heading to my other job as I post this but will rep any good posts with advice when I get back tonight
