I am a newbie as in having been self-studying programming for a bit over 2 yrs. Thinking I am getting close to being employable and then it creeps over me like WHAT value could I possibly contribute! Ouch! Yes, I absolutely need more knowledge but at some point still be employable! Thanks for this! I visited your page and signed up =)
You can provide the value that people believe you can provide. And you learn by doing. Get someone to take a chance on you then figure out a way to deliver, independent of how you feel!
I'm a web sysop and support engineer. My skills are mainly in back-end: Java, Linux, Python, PostgreSQL, Git, and GitLab. Currently I'm learning front-end skills: JavaScript, and Ruby.
Depending on the position we're looking to fill, a self-taught programmer is actually more attractive than someone with a degree.
you are clearly motivated to learn, and successful at it
you don't have crusty opinions or habits that we have to work around
the higher-level cognitive mindset of programming is actually transferable to specific tech anyway
any new starter will have a steep learning curve to climb with our varied tech, no matter their experience; a self-taught programmer has experience in climbing

You can totally land a junior role with 2 years programming under your belt! Any new
