I got into tech without knowing anyone. Some big names were mentioned to me, but I had no idea who they were. Navigating these streets with no one to learn from was hectic, not knowing where to go to get something, but eventually figuring it out >>>

Having a dev side chic. Private github repo, and talk in there. Every time you have an argument with her and your non-dev lover asks why you are in a low mood, tell them it's coz your code isn't running. You could even show them the code, they wouldn't understand it.

If you're a newbie, don't apply to established companies; the rejections will be consistent. Apply to little-known companies. Chances are higher there. You can then circle back to the multinationals.
