Career switch · studying around a job

Switching into code without quitting first

The plan is sound and the timeline is long. What decides it is whether the studying survives ordinary weeks — the ones with overtime, a sick kid, and nothing left by ten.

why it stalls

The switch rarely fails on talent

  1. 01

    The runway is long and nobody is watching it

    Six months of self-study has no manager, no sprint and no review. The only signal is your own memory of last week.

  2. 02

    Bad weeks cost more than they should

    One overloaded week at the current job turns into a lost month of study, and the restart is heavier than the stop.

  3. 03

    Progress is hard to see from inside

    Without a log, month three feels the same as month one, which is exactly when most people quietly stop.

Reasonable questions

Will this get me a job?

No programme can promise that, and we do not. What it gives you is a hundred days that actually happened, and the work that came out of them.

Do I need a project already?

It helps, but the first week is a fine place to choose one. The daily structure works either way.

What if my job gets busy?

Shrink the tasks, keep the report. A ten-minute day still counts as a day you showed up.

Is there a group call?

The core is written: your tasks, your report, and the logs of the people around you.

What does it cost?

Pricing is set when the next group opens. Nothing is charged on this page.

how it runs

Three tasks in the morning, one report at night

01

Decide the day before it starts

Three tasks, written in the morning, sized for the evening you will actually have.

02

Close the day in writing

What moved, what did not. A hundred of these become the record you cannot argue with.

03

Sit with people on the same road

Others mid-switch, reporting the same way. Their logs make yours normal, and vice versa.

Mostly calibration: learning to write tasks small enough to finish after a full workday.

Day 1–10

Mostly calibration: learning to write tasks small enough to finish after a full workday.

Day 30

The first collision with real life. You miss, you log it, you continue — the habit holds.

Day 100

A hundred logged days, a portfolio project that moved, and evidence you can study around a job.

Three tasks each morning. One report each night. A hundred days of code.
