I live in Los Angeles County area, any software devs that live here can give me advice on the surrounding industry?
Which programming language should I pursue to become a code monkey and make money?
Should I make several CRUD apps and a personal website displaying them? What kind of CRUD apps?
I am basically trying to make money to save my life, since the acid reflux can cause a condition that is pre-cancerous and I'd need a shitload of money for treatment to laser off the cancer if that is happening.
Any advice on becoming an entry software dev is appreciated.
look at local listening for something like an IT trainee or entry level web developer. Start using Python. A lot. Get really good at it. Start using Django. Make a github account.
Other option is react. You have Javascript experience all ready. Once you're proficient, start using redux.
You don't need to be an expert or anything, just be able to show you can actually use the language you claim in interviews.

learn java with spring boot.
You might not get to stay in LA. It's a fact of life, man. While the industry is thirsty as shit for anyone with 2+ years of experience, entry level is VERY competitive.

Don't really have advice, just wanted to say keep going user. Shit like that happens but you have to say fuck you and just keep going forward. Your attitude really matters with how your life turns out. You're gonna make it.
