"Learning programming is hard" I just kinda rolled into it as I grew up.
"Self-directed learning is hard" It's automatic for me. I'm interested in things.
"Attending one workshop or a couple won’t turn you into a professional developer." Well yeah. Does anyone think a couple workshops turn you into a professional blacksmith?
"It takes time: You won’t become an developer in 3 months." Fair enough, though I think if you study full-time, have fun doing it, and have a friend helping you a few evenings a week, you can probably be good enough for a junior position by 3 months.
"Finding your first developer job is hard." Is it? Haven't heard that from people.
"Finding any kind of first job in tech is hard." Yeah this definitely isn't.
"Tech interviews are terrifying." Not really. I'm generally nervous for interviews, but not more than is healthy I think.
"Job search in tech is extra long and frustrating." What planet are they on? I hear bad stories about people that did psychology as a study, but tech?!
"Some people won’t make it." Fair enough.
I've stopped reading there because I just can't see what the author is getting at. Is this just me? Or is it perhaps applicable to Silicon Valley specifically, where developers are abundant (are they?)?
