I love software especially because of this. You don't need credentials, just a willingness to study hard and Leetcode and you will get high paying jobs. Amazing, no gatekeeping at all like other professsion.

Software Engineering changed my life, and the life of my family. Me and my mom only had savings about $12k back then in 2015 and I lived in NYC, didn't know that it would change my life when I started studying programming using that money.

Hate all you want about SWE and Leetcode and JavaScript (lol), but they paid my bills, and my family's bills, and my old single mom's bills.
