A friend of mine who is a nurse wants to start learning to code! I’m super excited for her. She has a great memory and is super smart so I think she can do it.
Does anyone have any recommendations for boot camps or even first courses so she can get some practice?
Is 42 still the best school?
Thanks so much!
Code academy...you tube...
When I realized chat gpt could write code better than me I dropped out.
#skilledlabor will have its day.
True that! Did you drop out recently then?
What would you recommend to someone who has decent computer literacy but lacks technical understanding? How do you get the basics to then be able to approach chat gpt for code?
I was in burn out and unemployed from mortgage. Very mathematical and thoughtful but as it turns out not in the way programmer's think.
So I took courses c++ not sure that's ideal language. No money while learning so back in the fiat mines in New industry. Now I can stack sats.
Plan C: is learning to weld.
Pretty sure plan #bitcoin is gonna work out. #welding will be a hobby.
Build context. Immerse yourself in the context. Podcasts. Books. Events. All focused on coding. Eventually you start to connect the dots. Hearing things spoke about a certain way. You have keyword searches that get better results. Ask questions. Focus on your own questions to how a certain part of bitcoin works. Be curious about it.
Bitcoin is feeding us with memes and hard money. So we grow the collective bitcoin brain bigger. Drawing in more brain joules being spent on survival.
Remember, if you can’t become technical, find what you can do to draw in technical people. Build community and make the area appealing to the technical folks so they’ll come together. Decentralize the brain concentration by building the coolest bitcoin community you can. Then invite the devs. Or better yet, start it with a dev.

Saylor Academy. Seriously. Good place to start.
Haha maybe at a later date. I don’t want her too side tracked from her dreams just yet
i cannot recommend freeCodeCamp highly enough https://www.freecodecamp.org/
The Coding Train is an amazing channel to learn coding and Daniel Schiffman is a wonderfull teacher with a great personality.
Yes, love the guy. I think it’s a good approach to start with small and visual example projects like he does, where you can quickly see results and tinker around.
I tried learning python via saylor and it was frustrating for me. I would recommend Mimo at first.
and if she is on nostr I would be happy to talk to her too 🤙
Harvard CS50 - also avaliable for free on youtube.
