This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

Anyone who is familiar with getting into programming/coding field, especially without prior paid work experience in it? I'm US-based. Have some self taught experience, I would say I'm beyond novice albeit rusty, but proving that on a resume is another thing and I might be a better fit for entry level for that reason. Part of the problem is, a lot in my area last I looked tends to be military contractor stuff and I do not want to go work on weapons tech or whatever. I guess I could look for remote stuff?
Does anyone know of specific opportunities? (Not asking people to google search for me, just wondering on that level if anyone already knows of something.)
There is the Ren'py programming language to make visual novels that I am now learning.
Anecdotal experience but a friend of mine, who was objectively bad at coding but good communication skills, got a "requires Y years of experience in X language." job after doing a 2 week bootcamp in X language by lying on the resume/interview. So unless you are looking for a job at the FAANG companies, which ive heard do a lot of vetting, fake it till you make it really can work.
Interesting, will keep that in mind. I do tend to be overly conscientious about that kind of thing to my detriment sometimes. 😅
I dont know much but i have heard there are like certifications you can get pretty easily. Like you take a test and get a certification you can put on your resume. Might be worth looking into for you.
Thanks, I'll see what I can find on it.
