Title: On HN, there is a lot of advice for people just learning to code and a lot of advice for people who are making some money with their startup&#x2F;side project. However, I&#x27;d love to hear advice about the steps in between, that is, advice from real developers on how they went from a basic knowledge of coding to actually landing their first paid internship&#x2F;job&#x2F;etc.<p>Some questions to consider:<p>-Did you learn to program in school or teach yourself?<p>-Did you do unpaid work to establish yourself?<p>-Roughly how long did it take you from day 1 of learning to day 1 of being paid?<p>-What was your first gig?<p>My hope is to make a website with different timelines and step by step guides that shows new programmers how to go from finishing a basic tutorial like Codecademy to getting paid for software development.
