There's hardly any journalism in the world left because it's supposed to openly challenge the government and keep it in check. What these people fashioning themselves as journalists have been doing is half-assed public relations on behalf of gov.com, attacking free speech and slandering people for who they are (whites, Christians, conservatives, etc.). That is the exact opposite of journalism.
And to think at one time journalism actually held this honored position in our country.
Hi, thanks for coming for the interview…so looking at your resume, it says your last job was at buzzfeed? Doing backend work or…?
Actually was on the journalism side, but since then I've transitioned over to coding…
….ahh I see, well….we normally require at least 3 years of industry experience.
Look, I'm not going to bullshit you. I know your time is valuable. I can code. I write sleek performant low-overhead rust code with higher order functions that will run on anything. Period. End of sentence.

The only thing that matters for a corporate programmer slave is whether you are good at competitive programming (aka pointless programming puzzles) and can solve obscure hackerrank problems on a 10 minute timer. That's the most difficult thing you will need to learn, and also the thing you will use the absolute least except when you need to find a new programming job. Then once you've been hired you will inevitably be assigned designated database duty and nothing else.

The whiteboard algorithm design is an absolute bitch. Once you get hired, you're mostly writing CRUD and either plumbing things together that no one has ever documented before or installing some library in the case that they have.
