Hey Yamari nice to connect with you. Buy a laptop that has at least corei5 processor,8GB RAM, 15 inches Screen, 256 or more SSD memory. You can buy a laptop that possess this specs with a moderate budget but if you have the funds I will recommend you go for laptop with higher processor and 16GB RAM with 500 SSD. HP and Dell is cool but in terms of battery i think Lenovo is better and also rugged especially the Thinkpad series.

Awesome! That's such a cool change up in profession. 😀

I bet there's a lot from psychology that you can apply to coding — UI/UX would be a cool angle cause you're really getting into the mindset of how folks interact with whatever app, website, etc. that you're creating.

Anywho, hope ya dig being part of this community! 🙌

Hello! I'm starting to prepare for life after social work and am hoping coding can lead to a profitable second career. I'm not looking to get rich but hope to be a little more comfortable as I get into the later years.
