In this Office Hours Q&A, I got some pretty interesting questions:

• Should you lie on your resume to trick the ATS and get more interviews?
• If you’re building websites with tools like Squarespace, does it count as real experience—or are you cheating yourself?
• Is a master’s degree in computer science worth it if you already have some tech skills?

I also share thoughts on how to get experience that actually helps you land a dev job and why every learner should have a side project that they control.

Whether you’re self-taught, in school, or just figuring things out, this one’s packed with advice you won’t hear in most coding bootcamp brochures.
