Discussion Are any of you in the IT sector?

I was just wondering because I'm good at coding and I'm depressed and suicidal. Thought it might be a trend

I would like to get into coding. I need work that doesn't involve people. Any tips to start?

learn binary system base 2 zeros and ones
Binary is known as a "base 2" numbering system, meaning there are two possible numbers for each digit; a one or a zero. Larger numbers are written by adding additional ones or zeros to the binary number.

Yep, I'm a software developer.

Try the Odin Project if you're a beginner. It's a course on programming.

 

[Rust]

Unfortunately yes, but I'm a consultant, which means interacting with a lot of people. Being an introvert, and just in general a social anomaly, makes the job rather difficult, hence my misery.

I have learned it for 10+ years and did very well in a IT masters degree but I still can't get work that doesn't involve a lot of working with people. It seems to me that it is generally a very social profession involving teamwork and regular meetings. It is possible to use the skills to make money alone, but to make enough to live in a high cost-of-living country it seems like you have be extraordinarily lucky and/or intelligent. Most people who are successful solo or remote developers had experience in the industry beforehand to gain a network, reputation, and skills. So beware it is a difficult path and maybe not what you're looking for.

Seconded. @EmptyEater I personally would not recommend getting into coding at this point in time, it's already an oversaturated market, even for those with Bachelor's degrees. I quit my dev job in April because I was going to CTB and now I'm starting to look for jobs again and it's really rough out there, even with my two years of experience and degree.

 

[EmptyEater]

I appreciate the feedback. Looking into the Odin project.
I guess I'll look elsewhere for work though

I just got a "government job" as an IT Agent, unfortunately I'm working on IT management, not a lot of coding there.
