    I tried for years to get a programming job while doing clerical work. At an after hours party, I chatted with a programmer who worked for my company and asked him how he got his position, and he smugly said, “It’s easy if you have any skill” then he turned his back on me and walked away. I’d never had a conversation with him before.

    I’ve met a lot of really great people while doing programming, but the industry itself is full of horrible shitty people. Please be prepared for that when you finally land the job you’re looking for
