Software development has no gatekeeping
By Flavio Copes
Software development has no gatekeeping: you do not need a degree or an exam, just a computer and a book to start learning and experimenting with code.

Software development is pretty cool as a profession because there’s no gatekeeping.
You don’t need a degree or special studies.
You don’t need to pass an exam before you can start.
You can just get a computer and a book and you start learning.
Nothing stops you. You don’t just become a doctor by experimenting on patients but you can become a programmer by experimenting with computers.
And if you find out you don’t like it, you can just sell your computer and be done with it.
What’s stopping you?
