"8 weeks to a 6-figure tech job" is bullshit. Don't believe people selling that dream, it's a swindle. If you're a self-taught dev plan on at least 9 months of learning and practice. It's challenging, but you can do it and it's worth it!

I prefer Go over Java on the back-end (in most cases) for a couple of reasons: Real binaries, statically compiled Simpler syntax No need for frameworks, strong std lib Lightweight, less memory consumption Java is a fine language, but I default to Go for backend work.

Gatekeeping new developers is toxic. Pretending it's easier than it is to become a developer is toxic. You ABSOLUTELY can become a software developer as a self-taught learner. It takes dedication, and it will usually take between 6-18 months. But it's fun, and you can do it.

Data structures and algos are critical. Do you use them *every day* as a dev? Maybe not (though it depends on how you interpret that). HOWEVER, solving hard problems is what we're paid well for, and companies don't want devs that can't solve the hard problems when they DO arise.
