Ask HN: Should i take time off to learn to code?
Graduated with an accounting degree but ended up working in a startup doing customer service and their digital marketing. I've always wanted to learn how to code, and have the financial means to take 6-12 months off to really dedicate myself to learning to code.
Unfortunately with after work obligations i really don't have sufficient time to do it after hours whilst working full time.
What do you think? I'm 24 and have always dreamed of doing my own startup. Working where I am now has given me a really good grounding in the bus dev/marketing side of a startup but want to be able to code my own apps.
Would it be worth taking time off, enrolling in one of the coding bootcamps to learn something like rails? The other option is to do some sort of postgraduate degree in CS, but that's not too appealing to me.
