Comment on Ask HN: Is there a place for an investment banker?parent

Comments

Well, I do know some programming (did some C++ and JavaScript competitions in high school), so I don't think it would be too hard to pick up again. But getting to the point where I can contribute code to a team of people who majored in programming in college would take years I imagine.

Also, you mention database and memory stuff. Can you give me more detail as to what kind of database and memory you're talking about?

I think it all depends what position you want to cover in the team. A junior position should not be impossible to reach. You can get good in languages like Python in a matter of weeks. It may take more for web development although.

Databases: as all web sites are dinamic, it is important to understand a bit about databases.

Memory: people with more experience than me can have a say here. But I really think you should think about this later and only in case you want to play with lots data.
