It is good seeing some ambitious young people on the forum.

[Jason Voorhees]

I’ve had a couple 14 year olds ask me DM me asking me how to geg into coding and dev work and honestly you guys are already ahead of where I was.

At your age I was just messing around on Minecraft servers and binging random shows. I didn’t even touch code until I was 16. The thing is once you start progress can come really fast if you stay consistent. You don’t need to have it all figured out right now Just play around with different languages, build small projects, contribute to open source if you can and keep it fun. The skills and opportunities will stack up over time. At 14 you’ve got years to experiment without pressure. And it is never too late to start I've ve seen people come out of university clueless and still crushing it within a year with a dozen job offers once they decided to lock in.

There's zero need to be grinding LeetCode or sweating over DSA. it's time consuming, mentally draining, and can easily kill your confidence. If you really want to hustle you could try building apps and learning better. Just chill out you are not behind anyone. Just grind before uni or in the 1st year of uni and you will already be ahead of 95%.

I'm trying to IQmaxx but I notice uni students and those alike can do what I do and they get smarter much faster than me while learning more stuff

Brutal iq difference

I'll catch up tho

Is learning code that hard if you start with zero knowledge about coding? My friend earns money from freelancing and other coding things

Nobody starts out knowing code, everyone begins at zero. Like I said I knew nothing about coding when I first started. If you stay consistent, you'll pick it up way quicker than you think. Even I used to do freelancing gigs on the side in uni it. Started out small but later became my main source of income and gave me a ton of exposure.

AI right now can't do the job that I do right now. It is used supplementally and helps but it will take some time for AI to do devops. Ai right now can't do debuggung of edge-case deployment failures and manage CI/CD pipelines across environment while coordinating with teams, systems, security protocols they require system-wide context, real-world tradeoffs, and constant judgment calls. DevOps won't be immune to disruption. But realistically we're looking at 5-6 years before Al becomes capable of handling DevOps end-to-end with minimal human oversight . The first jobs to go are actually mundane routine jobs like data entry and accountants. Dev work is much harder for AI to get it right.

The AI train has created a huge demand for ML scientists too. It is right now one of the highest paying professions in the U.S

Highest paying job right after uni. Mogs quant

It is AI/ML research scientist. Easy $400K per year right out of uni. Yes you heard thay right half a million right after uni. And can go up to $10 million-$25 million+ per year at OpenAI, DeepMind, FAIR, Anthropic. Yes 25 million everg year as a salary with equity in thr company. You can look...

[Cicciosudmaxxer]

Why learn coding now though?
Kinda seems like an exaggeratedly oversaturated industry if they want to go into cs. I’d rather spend some time studying up for med school

Isnt AI training more maths and statistics then it actual is programming (coming from somone who wants to do something adjacent to it)

Imo don't buy imitation watches like these. They might look nice but they aren't good. I'd suggest Hamilton Murph or Kakhi field. The interstellar watch.

Tech still has one of the lowest unemployment rates and the highest earning potential + job mobility of any field. CS skills also open doors outside of just software jobs finance, biotech, Al, research, startups you name it. Even if you wanna go into medicine, coding and data science are huge in medical research, diagnostics rn. Basically, it's a skill that compounds with whatever else you do, rather than boxing you in.

You can think of coding as the "toolbox" and math as the "blueprint" If you're aiming to work adjacent to Al, knowing enough coding to translate the math into experiments will make you way more effective than just staying on the theory side. Those guys I mentioned in thread earning NBA tier salaries have years of experience working as dev and then got into ML.

Yeah that’s what I guessed. I’m going into finance and it’s true that a lot of knowledge in coding is now required. I know how to do a couple of things in python and that’s it . So over

Finance is a lot of mindless grind tbh. Extremely boring and monotonous I've tried learning finance and it bored me to death. Literally 0 intellectual stimulation just grinding for the sake of grinding

Question to finance bros

I've been learning financial modeling DCFs, LBOs, comps. it's fun conceptually, I can't imagine doing this 15 hours a day. Doesn't building 20 slide decks, tweaking models for every MD comment, and hopping on endless client calls get mind-numbing? Do deals ever stop feeling like copy-paste...

Finance isn’t really something people get into bc they like it, in my case it’s just bc I couldn’t stand anything else jfl. I’m going into markets and trading tho so it’s slightly more interesting

If you want a chill job. You could try product management. You'd need a CS degree but it is very laid back. You hardly do hard coding, travel a lot, talk to clients etc.

Ehh I’m already well into my finance degree. I’m also kinda chilling bc I’ve already gotten two internships worth of experience and I have a job lined up post grad

Blackpillers are allergic to optimism and hard work. They call everything a cope, blame it over something they can't control and move on. Very unhealthy mindset

What's your aim? Do you want to get into consultancy, Private equity or something?

End goal was to work in market analysis for a hedge fund. I’m not motivated enough to do all the work to get there so for now I’ve just got a couple connections in this bank to go work in their private portfolio managament

Tbh that’s a solid move private portfolio management at a bank still gets you exposure to markets, client money, and investment strategy without the insane grind of chasing a hedge fund seat right away. Plus those connections probably can compound later if you decide to make the jump.

Also buy from chrono24 btw. Let someone else take the initial hit if you are buying entry level watches. Just make sure it has all those chrono escrow service and what not.

Yeah fs. I do happen to have some good family connections and ones I made in school, one of my frat brothers is the son of a JP Morgan recruiter (JFL) and also through family we know others that have management positions in JP but in Europe. Might try and see if I can scum my way into an internship there next summer

Coding market is oversaturated in India, every third person dreams of CSE. Pretty useless to dive into at such a young age tbh unless you're highly skilled

Im making a fucking video game from deepseek ai and YouTube tutorials, watch me become a millionaire in a years time and get LL to reach 6’8

 

[Foreverbrad]

Good in the same way all the 14 year olds are also injecting HGH and looksmaxxing now.

In that… it’s not good, it’s just creating a hypercompetetive world where everyone has to put in maximum effort just to not drown and the only real winners are the people exploiting all that hustle.
