My thought exactly, an extrovert moving into tech is not beans, as an introvert I stay indoors only which allows me to concentrate.
And besides the other professionals should stock to their business, you only enjoy Tech when you're driven by passion not by money, many ppl don't know this thereby the don't even last up to 2 months and they're done .
...Stick to what you are good at.
exactly. Every professional should mind their business, if you read or are reading medicine, face your medicine, if you read phamarcy, face your pharmacy and so on..All of them now want to go into programming but e no go work for them.. I don't blame them shaa, Na people like tensazangetsu20 and the rest wey dey post those things wey dey make their eyes chook I blame.. Nowadays any body that asks for skill to learn, before you know it, people go dey suggest IT skill, IT skill, coding, coding upandan.. The way I'm seeing this thing, you know the way Yahoo boys and ritualist will tell you that they are into bitcoin just to evade any suspicion? Very soon they will soon start to tell you that they are programmers, Na that format them go start to dey use now..

They have already started. My neighbor upstairs is a developer. The friends that come to spend all day at his place using internet, naaaaah they aren't IT boys abeg. All of them dey say dem be remote workers. But some phone conversations I've overhead suggest otherwise

Can u believe that about 60k students registered for ALX SE program for the august cohort. And during the onboarding yesterday, a student of the program was invited to talk to us. Could you believe that the guy was a BANKER currently at a job. A banker wants to leave banking for programming! I even heard some medical students also enrolled in the program. These guys think programming is beans. Anyways, let’s see how it goes.

That's how I saw one 17 year old Dev here today, he mentioned all these stacks and I'm like why would anyone learn more than one programming language, I checked his portfolio on GitHub and it was too mediocre for someone who can learn all those technologies...

Is a good thing we need to compete with the Indians. They are using tech to migrate and control the world. Look at UK migration numbers. 80 thousand Indians got work visa in uk last year compared to 12 k Nigerians. In that half of the Indians is tech while only 1500 is noligerians in tech.

Please where did you get those figures? I will like to read through.

P.S. Not doubting you, just want to feed my curiosity.

There an assumption that programming has materials that can take you to expert level free on the internet. That is true but the work required to attain that expert level isn't a joke.
People should realize there are many IT options asides programming.
