Bootcamps

I know nothing! But I'm interested in becoming a software Engineer, where do I start?

Getting started

I have heard a lot about Artificial Intelligence and ChatGPT taking Software Jobs. Is it still worth it to go into the field?

Are software jobs obsolete? 

I am trying to land my first Internship/Job in Software Engineering; what do you recommend?

<span data-sheets-value="{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;I personally DO NOT reccommend bootcamps. This is an opinionated answer; I am not a hiring manager, but I do have anecdotes.
