PSA: I blew $1,200 on a 'certified' online coding bootcamp that was just recycled YouTube videos.
Has anyone else found a legit path into tech without getting scammed first?

That's rough. The word "certified" doesn't mean much on its own. A lot of those programs just pay for a badge. Better to look for ones with real hiring partners or published job rates. Free stuff like The Odin Project or Harvard's CS50 course are solid places to start for real learning.

Honestly noahpark, what if that badge gets your resume past the first filter though?
