I've been a software engineer for sometime now, and had so many people I know ask me how to get into tech, and I recommended some to simply learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript and then React, Next.js or Node, Express etc. to land their first frontend or backend role and figure things out from there, but in 2024, I think that's not enough, a lot of companies are actively choosing not to hire new grads or new programmers, and I feel people learning to code should learn to 'learn' instead of just learn to code. Hope this guide helps someone.
