My tech hot take is that if your number 1 concern is financial stability and getting out of your current situation and you're curious about tech, web development is the best road to take. Lemme explain... HTML, CSS and JavaScript are fundamentally all you need for building a website. It's easier to focus on just those 3 for a couple of weeks and see results immediately. You don't need to set up a dev environment and you don't need a powerful machine. With these skills alone . . .

Before you launch your "diversity" campaign, please allow me to explain why @resilientcoders is the best boot camp on earth, and why you should be supporting us or learn from us.

We are targeting black/brown people from lower household incomes ONLY

We pay our students to learn how to code. Not everyone can afford to do things for "free"
