I'm a kindergarten coder. I'm mucked around with very some simple BASIC, Pascal, C#, and Python, I know the bare bones of Bash, and I once learned enough Git to be dangerous. If I want to earn a living from programming, what are the essential skills and knowledge I'd need to spend some time learning to be useful to an employer?

@strypey I am assuming you will try working remotely first. A LinkedIn profile? (nobody bash me up for making a practical point - I too know a GAFAM silo is anti-thetical to society and ethics) And a couple of useful projects on Github? (nobody ...)

You say you don't have experience, but there seem to be lot of people around with messy experience so it is not a big drawback. C# and Python are already solid keywords, maybe mention of their ecosystem is missing? Say, Django exposure or .Net foundation or something?

You only need to land 1 job first!
