Ask HN: What advice would you give a tester who wants to become a coder?
I've been hit up a few times by testers from previous jobs, asking for advice about how to get into coding. They don't usually have a coding background, but they're young and smart and I think they could do well. They're usually interested in being front end developers.
Since they're already full-time professionals, I've generally pointed them towards Udemy. I like how their classes are structured - usually bite size portions so you can do a few a day.
However, I worry that they may need some extra push to get them going. I was wondering if there was something else I could say to help them along?
