This is such a dumb question that I hesitate to ask it in public: what kind of coding things are there to do if you don't enjoy design? I don't think I'd be good at app development or front-end web development, because I'm not great at making things look good.

@TotallyArbitrary tons! there's a lack of good system and embedded software engineers, and there's always a need for people who can write fast C or C++ code

@moz @TotallyArbitrary yeah, you are in luck, as most programming isn't particularly visual or design-y. :)

@scott Every single thing aimed at potential career changers involves front end web development. Also, bootcamps. Bleh.

@TotallyArbitrary You've taken a look at the Recurse Center? recurse.com/ Sorry if I've recommended it before.

@brainwane Looks completely amazing, but I would have to quit my job, which I'm not willing to commit to yet.

@TotallyArbitrary They have done 1-week miniretreats in the past and I hope they'll do so again. I think you can subscribe to them for updates to get a heads-up if they do so...

TotallyArbitrary @TotallyArbitrary

@brainwane I could do a 1-week mini. I'll subscribe for updates!
