Programmers are highly interested to learn and leveraging the most trending programming language such as Python. It is now trending in the programmers' community to become self-taught Python developers without any assistance from different educational institutes. Learning to code is one of the key prerequisites to becoming Python developers and working for big tech companies across the world. Python developers have started taking online classes or any other non-traditional learning tools to have a clear concept of the programming language. Big tech companies should have started recruiting self-taught Python developers to contribute to the coding for enhancing customer engagement efficiently and effectively. The focus should not be on self-taught Python developers or the conventional Python developers— the key factor is basic or in-depth knowledge, programming skills, and talent.
Some of the big tech companies are accepting self-taught Python developers while relaxing the qualification criteria in recent times. But there should be a presence of prerequisite skills such as mathematics, logical thinking, problem-solving, and technical, as well as soft skills. There should also be sufficient hands-on experience with valid certifications for self-taught Python developers. There are some of the popular big tech companies such as IBM or Google who are not interested in a degree, but interested in the knowledge and work skills.
Big tech companies need to understand that practical and hands-on experience is essential for coding successfully without any bug issues. Experience always teaches programmers core areas of a programming language that need to be improved or put more focus on. "Practice makes a man perfect"— this should be followed by programmers to have a clear and deep concept of the Python programming language. Self-taught Python developers may not have a valid degree from any UGC-granted educational institution. But if they have ample experience from participating in different Python-based competitions, freelance work, or any Python project, big tech companies must look out for those in the portfolios. Experience is helpful in coding for programmers to create seamless apps to enhance customer engagement and drive profit in the nearby future. In the 21st-century global tech market, experience does not only mean job experience. It also includes own valuable projects that can add sufficient value to the portfolios of programmers. Valuable experience in a programming language can provide a plethora of opportunities to programmers or self-taught Python developers to get recruited by big tech companies.
Yes, some big tech companies have started hiring self-taught Python developers to accelerate their productivity. IBM and Google are two of the top and leading big tech companies in the current global tech market. IBM is promoting that programmers just need to have experience— talents and skills of Python developers with degrees and self-taught Python developers are the same. It is all about the effort and understanding from the big tech companies to motivate and promote the skills of self-taught Python developers. Google also has officially posted on its hiring practice page that having a computer science degree is not essential for some specific roles.
The main idea is to bring diverse life experiences into a workplace with non-standard approaches to bring out innovations in big tech companies. There may be some innovative approaches in the programming language by self-taught Python programmers that the degree cannot help with it. Programming language curriculum in college or university education is fixed across different places. But a self-taught Python developer can be different and gain different perspectives from where the programmer has learned.
If big tech companies like IBM, Apple, Facebook, and Google can hire self-taught Python developers without any valid degree certificate then other tech companies can also start to adopt this recruiting process in the global tech market. They should understand the importance of experience and ability than the degree of education related to any programming language for the community of programmers. Passion is the key to success and not the degree.
