It's coming along slowly. I don't have any formal training yet, still trying to find a coding job that pays the bills before I commit to a paid educational course, but I've been out of work for a while now and it may be time to take the plunge.

So far my education is mostly just watching youtubers who are doing things similar to what I want to do, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/@ProjectsWithDave He seems legit to me, but I am very new to the field so I feel like I'm the kind of person who could be taken in by correct-sounding nonsense.

There’s jobs that will put you through apprenticeships as part of the first 2 years of employment. You do the course work at night (which should be pretty easy if you’ve already trained as a software engineer).
