  • There are plenty of “Learn to code” courses online. Khan Academy has a course though it is focused on web development, and many users here will turn up there nose, but it’s as good a starting point as anything else

    If you are dedicated I’m sure you could learn how to write code in a language, learn how different parts of programming languages work and build a little project in 6 months.

    “Like literally a pro” depends on where you are looking to be hired by. With no experience or formal training, it will be rather difficult to land a FAANG job. But of you can demonstrate aptitude, and willingness to learn, a smaller operation meet give you a shot.

    Good luck, I hope you stick with it :D
















  • Generally a regular issue is much less likely to get you hacked.
    Security issues often come with legal liability which is why a bad security department will act overly important and stomp around demanding changes be made right the fuck now.

    But I do get it, a good security team should be enabling their dev teams to solve issues in the least disruptive way possible, not just thrown them work and barking orders.

    In some places I have worked, the sec teans will find an issue and push PRs to fix them, explaining the security concern, and requesting only a review and merge.
