Ask HN: How can I help my 40 year old brother get into tech?
My older brother has worked in retail his whole life, mostly in supermarkets. He's had a managerial role but the career path and salary has never been great and he's often worked graveyard shifts. He understandably has felt very unfulfilled and depressed with his life.
He has always been really into computers and I've begged him for years to try and angle his way into tech. I'm a UI/UX designer and PM myself, so I know it's possible but I'm also aware that I could be seeing through rose-colored glasses here.
I've offered to start training him in UI/UX design weekly but I'm not sure what the best long-term path would be for him/me to focus on. Do you have any recommendations for him?
