Ask HN: The Struggles of Poverty and Trying to become a programmer from 0
I'm an African-American male based in Seattle. Code fellows is only a bus ride away from me but can't afford it. College is expensive. CodeFellows is expensive. Can barely live off Mim wage warehouse job.
Trying to jump-start your career and get into Web development as a low-income African male is a tough mission. Everyone else seems so privileged comparing to me. I want a career in Web development but see no hope right now. Financial barrier, even Udacity is charing now $200 per month per nano course! and I thought Udacity was the only way to make it into tech for someone like me until they got money hungry.
