I only have warehouse mgmt work experience(which means all IT responsibilities fall on me), but I can’t keep away from various programming projects.

I’ve only dipped into the privacy-sphere of software in the last 2 years, but I’ve found a earnest passion in my pursuits. My obsessiveness has bled into most friends asking why I haven’t pivoted my career, and I don’t have a good answer other than I assumed there’s no money to be made in it since I never finished my college CS degree.

I will code and continue my projects regardless, but was hoping this community could offer some advice or there experiences with similar endeavors. Thanks

    Solid–I like this course of action. If I have an old Github with long bouts of inactivity, would it be better to build a presence with that account or start anew?

      You don’t need to even make your activity public, just someplace people can see relevant stuff you’ve been working on.

      Fork some repos, contribute some PRs to some projects you like, and generate some activity if you’d like though. People love to see that.
