True, this is what I did years ago (although I'd been programming on and off since I was a teenager tbh). I'm not gonna eat the onion but the job market was a lot less competitive 10 years ago. I'm just fortunate because I became a senior developer around the time of COVID and I wasn't just starting out as an inexperienced dev.
