Hello frens >Just graduated from med school (dentist) >Taking a year off because I'm mindbroken from five years of brutal exams and studying >Breddy autistic, INTJ, 130 IQ (not humblebragging) >Like the idea of being a perfectionist who works on logical problems from my laptop >Maybe work for DAOs in the future (holy grail)
I've consulted with some friends and strangers and they've told me to start learning either Javascript or Python. However, Javascript is apparently more widely adopted in web development, whereas Python is more for prototyping. This is what my 20+ years senior dev friend told me.
I was always told that dentists make bank, but the starting salary of a dentist is £30k in bongland. I have this opportunity to take the fork in the road, and I just want a comfy programming job where I can WFH and not deal with patients and nurses or need to put diazepam up someone's rectum because they're having a seizure in my office.
I'm open to any advice from programming chads. Thank you.
Sarkite#8838 if you want to have a chat user, there are many options but it depends completely on your goals, ultimately though there is carryover knowledge from all languages so starting with any won't hurt

Thanks for the response.

biut what language you know matters less than how well you know it just pick one you like

Thanks for the response. Working in the US is near impossible; you are confined to one state and you need to jump through a shitload of hoops and bureaucracy Also I'm quite disillusioned with medicine as a whole. I'm a computer person at heart, but I don't regret becoming a dentist as it's a solid degree to have in the back pocket.

I was gonna suggest you just stick to dentistry. In America, you can own your own practice and make $400k a year if you work a lot. >the starting salary of a dentist is £30k in bongland But if this is the case, jump ship to development ASAP. I'm a computer person too and have dabbled into learning python/js but I make too much money now so jumping ship isn't worth it.

move to USA and be a millionaire. dentists make a lot.

Jeremiah Hall
Thanks user. How is the life of a programmer for you?
I'll be fucking young girls regardless of what I'm doing lad How long have you been a programmer for? Do you have any sage chad advice to offer? I'd be very grateful
I'm a C developer, but I would definitely say learn JS and Go. Those are more in demand and basically everything that matters in crypto is made in languages like that. You could learn C or C++ if you're autistic enough. I really think that makes picking up other languages somewhat trivial later, but it's not necessary. Really though, if you're 130 IQ as you say, then you can learn basic programming in absolutely any language, then, when you start working on what you want, you can easily pick up whatever language that field is using. It's really a non-issue.
Chase Sullivan
If this were easily doable then that wouldn't be the case for long
Levi Perry
Thanks for the response, I appreciate it Do you have any advice for how the workflow should be as a beginner? Someone told me to spent only maybe 2 hours a day on coding to not burn out.
Alexander Ramirez
I'm not a programmer. I make really good money in healthcare so it's not worth it for me to jump ship.
Henry Watson
Ahh I see. I misinterpreted your comment. Are you also a doctor?
Joshua Lewis
Yeah JS is a good start.
Not to hijack your thread OP but does anyone here have experience working a 1099 or similar contract job? I want to make more money and leave my dev job as an employee but idk if its worth
Jason Adams
JS if you want to do web frontend specifically. You'd kind of learn HTML, CSS and JS at the same time then. In that case feel free to check out There are a lot of good resources for beginners and anons are usually quite helpful. Again this is specifically for web frontend. Especially if you want to do remote work there, that should be quite doable, but you have to put in the work and get the basics down. I can answer any webdev/frontend/fullstack questions if you have any, but I'd recommend you check out the Any Forums thread as well.
