I would also love to read a 2 year follow-up story that gives us an update.

This article reminds me of my own attempt to transition into software from chemistry and agriculture. Four years later I'm worried that I've poured a lot of time and effort into yet another educational program which will not help find employment. That's after two science degrees and a bunch of learning about digital design and rapid prototyping.

I see a lot of optimism in this post about how it's all going to be worth it. But I'm afraid that may not be the case as I face the cold while sleeping in my car again this fall.

Sleeping in a car isn't too bad, and must be 10_000x better than sleeping on a street. Couldn't you get thicker blankets and be ok? Cold is better than roasting in summer heat, with no way to cool down (can't leave windows down unless you want people to touch you while you sleep)
