"entry level developer" is subjective anyways. a smart company will hire and train someone in an entry level position, because they know they're passionate about learning, and long run it'll pay off 1000x over.

i wouldn't recommend anyone to work 12/6, it's really not fun. life's meant to be enjoyed.

you cannot rush development is my point. to become proficient, an expert, it takes time and energy. there's no "bootcamp" to beating the learning curve.

i obviously had a choice, and with money being no option, i looked at all the options. since my criteria was the quickest, and best way to learn, it came down to 3 viable options: 1. get a masters in computer science, and code on the side w/ Mila. 2. bootcamps/whatever training courses that are efficient, cheap, organized 3. trial and error on my own, google, youtube all the blanks, and network with people smart and more experienced than me doing stuff we're both interested in

option 3 was by far the quickest, because it's more focused, and a direct learning curve. it's also the cheapest option too. felt like a win-win.
