Dear Vercel team and community,
I’m writing to ask you a question that’s been on my mind for a while: Can a self-taught software developer with no academic background work for a company like Vercel?
Please answer honestly.
Yours sincerely,
Ilyas Ayachi
My dream 
.Bro i am also a self taught developper would love to connect.i am still learning from basic have you learned to build websites?bro slide into the vercel communitys dms or instagram please im also a self learning.
I’ve worked with a lot of self-taught devs throughout my career. My mentor from my first job taught himself to code after getting an unrelated degree in English. When I was at PayPal, half my team were bootcamp grads. It seems like there’s always been a mix of backgrounds everywhere I’ve worked.
It’s definitely possible to land a tech job without a traditional computer science degree. You just need to find other ways to prove you know how to build great things. Contributing to open source projects or building your own awesome project are great ways to do that. And make sure to tell the rest of us about it so we can connect and see your work!
If you’re really ambitious, you can follow in the footsteps of founders like Guillermo Rauch and start your own company 
I can develop a website without difficulty 
Thank you very much for your reply, which makes me want to keep going!
I mean im just keep watching tutorials upon tutorials i dont know where to start is there any site ud recomend to go and start learning. i can create HTML but then i find it hard to style.sometimes i feel like learning those are waste when we have frameworks but then we need them to undertand these framework nah.i wanna learn next.js if i have enough knowledge to learn next.js im diving in.
also how long will it take to become a developper spending like 2 hrs a day?any idea?
+1 on what @amyegan shared. 
I also shared some general career advice thoughts here, in case it’s helpful:
@umairfaiser If you’re looking for a targeted tutorial, I can recommend the Learn Next.js on the Next.js website.
It’s easy to get trapped in an endless stream of tutorials. Once you’ve learned some Next.js foundations, I recommend breaking out of that by building a small project on your own. That’ll help you practice using what you learned from tutorials and get comfortable referencing the documentation.
To-do lists and blog websites are common first solo projects. I know that might sound boring, particularly if you’ve already built one with a tutorial, but those are good choices because there’s already a lot of advice shared all over the internet to help if you get stuck.
I hope that helps!
The Odin Project and freeCodeCamp are popular options for full courses if you’re interested in building up other web dev skills. Both of them also get you access to communities of other learners who can help you advance more quickly
thank @amyegan will definetely check it out..
I should learn react first lol..i barely even know js
