    You can still use programming to leverage your current position.

    If you work admin in an office and are able to automate a bunch of workflows with some simple scripts, you’ll have more leverage when salary raises start to get discussed.

    Will your code be at the level a professional programmer would produce? Probably not, but you’re not competing with one.

      Even better if you keep schtoom about it and automate your work from home job allowing you to just chill for most of the day.

        Upvoted for use of British English word “schtoom,” a Yiddish loan word. I always thought Yiddish loan words were an American thing, thanks for the learning opportunity.
