Command line heroes are software engineers, developers, programmers, systems administrators\u2014coders. That variety in coding careers is almost as varied as the paths coders take to land their jobs. \n\nSaron Yitbarek and Clive Thompson start the season by exploring some ways coders start their tech careers\u2014some common, many unexpected. Many choose to start with a degree in computer science. But don\u2019t underestimate the maturing bootcamp tracks, the mid-to-late-career switchers, and coders from outside the insulated tech hubs. You might be surprised who answers the call to code, where they come from\u2014and how much they\u2019ve already accomplished.
