My buddy has zero of that stuff, never went to a bootcamp, never went to college and now he is a senior dev and makes 6 figures. It’s about how bad you want it and how much work you are actually trying to put in to succeed

One off cases don't prove anything. I've seen people who wanted it so bad and worked so hard they got physically and mentally ill and just couldn't do it. I've also seen people get jobs at Google because they just put in the work. Neither proves anything, but they all happened!
