How I became self taught Developer in 2023

How I became a self-taught Full Stack Developer & How I have learned to code from completely zero without a Computer Science degree or Bootcamp!
A little bit of a background, most of my 20s Ive worked as a cabin crew, travelled the world and had lots of fun, and at some point it was over and had to find myself in a new career.
It's never late to study and it's never late to start over. I am 29 and I started coding 10 month ago hoping to get a job in tech industry and finally I made it!!! In this video Ive shared all the steps and challenges that I went through.

I just recently started applying for jobs after about a year of studying full-stack web development and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a bit discouraging. I've applied for dozens of jobs without so much as a call back. I think it's interesting that you had success finding jobs through LinkedIn. Do you have any advice on how to fluff up a LinkedIn profile/resume when you have no real work history to show as a developer?

    Companies don't need to put out a lot of job postings for junior positions... They get inundated by people who "just finished bootcamp" and are completely useless for most purposes. With an university degree, after at least three years of programming, developers can start to earn their keep maybe after a year or two. But bootcampers normally take a lot more effort for the companies to train up, and not everybody can afford that.
