If I lost everything today—no job, no network, no portfolio—and had to start over in 2025 as a software developer, I wouldn’t be looking for a 3-month miracle.

I’d be planning for 12 months.

That’s how long it really takes now.

We cover:

  • what tech stack you should learn
  • networking as a developer using BFS
  • a capstone project that is actually impressive
  • an interviewing strategy
  • 3 books I'd read as a new developer

At Parsity, we cover all this and much more. Apply here.
