Please share your experience. How hard was the job finding process? Are you self-taught or with a degree? From what country are you? Is your pay adjusted to the cost of living of where you live?
Computing/software changed a lot of industries. In my country, it's just starting to pick up and I want to be part of it. I'm looking to develop for the local market, but I want to try ideas that have already been tested in other countries (especially southeast Asia market) and adapt from there. Any example that would be considered essential nowadays? I've seen people write scripts to automate jobs and stuff but I lack domain knowledge to really know where to focus. Thats why I ask your collective experience. Thanks
I'm debating on the return on investment in grinding LeetCode for self-taught developers. I'm still early in my learning progress, but I can do basic LeetCode problems. If is worth my time to do more? Or should I instead invest that time into more practical projects? My goal is to find a remote job for a western company eventually.
Is there such a thing as a social media for developers? A little about me, I'm from Madagascar. After learning English, I am now learning how to program, with the help of various free online courses from top US/EU universities, and a specialization in web development. I'd like to get in touch with developers, from US or EU as I'd like to get a remote job there and maybe in the long run move out. Most devs here work for so called "freelance companies" that takes care of teaching and finding contract for them, but in the end keeps all the money, while the devs gets just a little above minimum wages to keep them happy. If you didn't know already, my country is really really really poor (yes that poor). If someone is looking for a mentee also, I would love to have someone more experienced guide me through this journey. Kind of a long shot, I know, but lady luck favors the one who tries. If you have any questions, we can have a chat.
