Marcia Cripps
From farming to software engineering
It is so inspiring for many people who want to start their tech careers. Thanks for sharing with everyone.
It was awesome Marcia 😊, Your journey is so inspiring to me
Congratulations for the new career. I can relate to the unhealthy condition at the time of grinding. #100dev is really amazing.
First of all, Congratulations! on the job ... and on your hard work.
This is very inspiring, and very useful you had provided many things to help in the way ... Thank You.
But You said "disclaimer to everyone about my coding journey" because you too had a tough time ... you know hard work and some sacrifice lead to a better tomorrow.
Congrats! After being in the tech for over 15 years at Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc, I'm looking to recreate your transition, but in reverse :)
Happy to trade notes...
Truely inspiring! I'm a newbie in the tech-space but I just got reminded that anything is possible if you give it your all and allow yourself to fail but not quitting👏
This is quite an interesting read because I'm currently doing the opposite.
Moving away from my web engineer role to be more involved with my father and the farmer labor.
Wow you sound exactly like me - just I am on class 4 of 100 devs and starting out - cant believe i found you as this just inspired me so much to know its possible!
I read the blog twice, but didn't found mentions about your interview experience, so can you able to tell me like, what type of technical questions did interviewer ask's ? and did they DSA based questions also?
this is so inspiring! ✨but i have one question for you... i'm also preparing for SDE without CS degree, but now i'm get stuck in new concept's and it took my so much time for understanding//
so can you tell me how u manage this ?
I'm hoping to make the switch from Geology to software engineering. Your story is quite inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
I got glued to reading this post. It is a perfect summary my personal experience in transitioning from a soil scientist to software engineer. I'm happy you gave your all and the fact that it eventually paid off
This is such an insightful and inspiring story to all the aspirants out there. Congratulations for getting till here and All the very best for your future endeavours. More power to you.
Very inspirational, thank you for sharing your invaluable experience. Congratulations on your accomplishment!!
This is so insightful & inspiring
Your work rate is very intense.
This is lovely, thank you for sharing.
It's a very detailed post about your journey of entering into Tech from a non-CS background. Thanks for sharing your journey by covering every aspect of it. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this post and bookmarked it for reference. Many will be highly benefitted from this post.
A very thorough and informative piece - and one I found very relatable. While I haven't even attempted to get a job in webdev (or gamedev, before that), mostly doing both as a hobby - I too came in from a very different professional background (linguist, and not good at maths), and really took to the problem-solving nature of coding. It's impressive how committed you were, and how creatively you went about the learning process (re-telling things to your dog! brilliant). Also, great tips on some aspects of socializing/networking that I wouldn't even know where to begin with.
