    I'm a "self-taught developer" who transitioned from the medical field to IT, and I was so shocked at how coding elitists gatekeep this industry to the point where I asked myself what would happen if we did this kind of thing in the hospital/healthcare setting.

      @shalki parkash let's be real, there are numerous douchebag doctors out there, but none of them ever told me that "laboratory science is not REAL medical work" or "be real with yourself, do you think you'd be a good healthcare worker?"

      I worked in finance before I became a programmer and I absolutely love to write code and solve problems... but the people in this industry are absolutely insufferable. Every programming job I've had has been like high school, everyone has a massive ego and a "you can't sit with us" attitude and if you're lucky you might meet one or two people who are nice.

      it's also the same for self taught white engineers with a lot of years in this space. the gatekeeping gets worse, the overemphasis on academic puzzles when you know full well the job is nothing like that. frankly it sucks and has gotten far worse over the last 10 years.

    Wow this is like every online forum where people ask how they can get started no joke like 6 months ago when I was just getting into coding I was reading forums about how to get started and I got discouraged because these self proclaimed “veteran web developers” made it sound like it was close to impossible to learn coding and how it’s a terrible time to try to get into coding because the market is over saturated unless you have 10 years of experience. Glad I’m getting into it again and I wish I knew about these kind of people before, who knows how far I would be if I didn’t let myself get discouraged!

      the reason we hear this is partly because this career path can be brutal if and when you find yourself out of a job, especially after say 35 where you can either get lucky in a career path or find yourself at the gates of 100s of jobs being rejected because of the interview process and its emphasis on timed puzzle and algorithm solving which bears little resemblance to real-world software development where you can quietly work through a tough problem using algorithms and data structures where you need to (it's sooo much easier to understand them when it's NOT the difference between landing a job or not). the interview process is as anti-clarity inducing as it gets. i.e. the worst moment for mental clarity needed to solve puzzles.

    this isn't limited to software development, this is corporate gatekeeping in general. people don't want to admit that, a lot of the time (not always for practical reasons, i.e. the need for hard skills in many markets) they want to choose people to work with who they like for some reason (similar wealth, similar lifestyle, similar interests, similar social circles, similar cultures (gasp, but it's true whether minorities or otherwise). the job market is BRUTAL if you aren't a "culture fit" i.e. they like another candidate more than you for reasons even they don't understand.

    the focus on algorithms and data structures under timed-interview conditions is more or less a hazing activity at this point. It's not really indicative of the individuals capability at groking and applying these concepts either. been there done that. have solved problems using recursion, advanced algorithms before (e.g. computational geometry) where the average programmer simply doesn't understand those things and yet I've been rejected for countless interviews, many of which came down to failing a timed test or just didn't follow the same path to a solution as the interviewer. it's insanity, except what can we do, other than to keep applying to jobs rolling the dice until an offer comes in...

    I thought Cyber would be better because they value certs so you don't have to just push your Github and hope someone notices... Boy, was I wrong.. and man are certs a joke.. I can do all the programming paradigm stuff but I'm rusty since I went Cyber cause I only use any language for tidbits to do OS things. Whichever one is already native to the target system... but all the big certifications, CompTIA namely, are multiple choice tests. You could do those and a degree and not have any actual hands-on experience. Plus, everybody applies after an 8 week bootcamp so it definitely encourages skepticism and brings everything down to "who you know" and luck... but the BIGOTRY IS REAL... I mean JESUS CHRIST... I've had 10 year professionals who couldn't connect their VPN when it had to be done on CLI and others who've asked me to help them cheat after I passed eCPPT first attempt because they were on attempt #3 and couldn't swing it but they had NO FEAR of being replaced at their job....
    "My name is my certification" he said... COME ON lol.
    Why are you asking me to help you cheat then, boss? The whole industry being rigged in your favor isn't enough for you and you want to take my achievement for free while I starve too, eh?
    It's hard as far as certs go, requiring compromise of 5 machines and developing a BoF like OSCP but still considered entry level..
    Still counts for nothing when applying to jobs... Now I'm being told grinding out a degree and 12 certs in 2 years isn't enough and I should focus on developing my Github or a blog to "get my name out there"... Like, what was it all for then?
    I go for career advice and find much the same thing; comfortable, tenured "professionals" spewing cliche's and rolling turds downhill, taking easy shots through a glass ceiling protecting them at everybody below them.
    The burden of pre-requisite knowledge is just higher than it was back then.
    THAT'S why you're not a good cultural fit. They know you've worked harder for longer and learned more than they ever did if you've come this far and they don't want to compete for that promotion to management where they can finally stop pretending to actually know anything and make rolling their shit downhill their actual job.
