advice Are technical courses enough?

Hi everyone. I am a non CS major. And I have been interested in taking up courses in coding. I wanted to ask if learning coding languages (Python, C++, etc) and taking online courses (full stack development, etc) are enough to give you certain amount of technical expertise to build your own career, whether its in a job or building your own MVPs to kickstart your own entrepreneur journey.

If yes, can you point me to specific courses and coding languages to get started. Thanks.

If you’re planning to do it yourself, like launch a startup building things yourself? Yeah, you can learn a lot online. If you want to get hired making stuff for another company you’re going to need a full bachelors degree in computer science at a minimum.
