Belajar Coding Sambil Kerja Full-Time: Ini Caranya

Salah satu alasan terbanyak kenapa orang menunda belajar coding adalah: "Aku terlalu sibuk kerja."

Padahal ratusan alumni DebugGo adalah karyawan aktif yang berhasil menyelesaikan bootcamp sambil tetap bekerja. Bagaimana caranya?

1. Pilih Program dengan Jadwal Malam atau Akhir Pekan

Ini langkah paling krusial. Jangan memaksakan diri ikut kelas pagi atau siang jika kamu bekerja. Semua kelas DebugGo dijadwalkan Sabtu dan Minggu malam pukul 19.00 sampai 21.00 WIB, sehingga tidak mengganggu jam kerja sama sekali.

2. Gunakan Teknik Belajar 25 Menit

Kamu tidak perlu belajar 3 jam setiap hari. Gunakan teknik Pomodoro: belajar fokus 25 menit, istirahat 5 menit. Lakukan 2 hingga 3 sesi sehari di sela-sela waktu luang.

3. Ulangi Materi Setelah Kelas

Setelah setiap sesi live dengan mentor, luangkan 30 menit untuk mengulangi apa yang baru dipelajari. Tulis ulang kodenya tanpa melihat catatan.

4. Manfaatkan Waktu Commuting

Sedang di kereta atau menunggu bus? Gunakan waktu itu untuk membaca dokumentasi atau menonton rekaman sesi yang terlewat.

5. Komunikasikan ke Lingkungan Terdekat

Beritahu keluarga atau pasangan bahwa kamu sedang dalam periode intensif belajar. Minta dukungan mereka agar waktu belajarmu tidak terganggu, terutama di akhir pekan.

6. Fokus pada Satu Skill Dulu

Jangan mencoba belajar React, Node.js, dan Docker sekaligus. Pilih satu jalur, selesaikan hingga tuntas, baru pindah ke skill berikutnya.

Ingat, belajar coding bukan sprint melainkan maraton. Yang penting konsisten, bukan cepat.

One of the most common reasons why people put off learning coding is: “I'm too busy working.”

Even though hundreds of DebugGo alumni are active employees who have successfully completed bootcamps while still working. How?

1. Select a Program with an Evening or Weekend Schedule

This is the most crucial step. Do not force yourself to attend morning or afternoon classes if you are working. All DebugGo classes are scheduled Saturday and Sunday evenings at 19.00 to 21.00 WIB, so they do not interfere with working hours at all.

2. Use the 25-Minute Learning Technique

You don't have to study 3 hours every day. Use the Pomodoro technique: learn to focus 25 minutes, take a 5-minute break. Do 2 to 3 sessions a day in between free time.

3. Repeat the Material After Class

After each live session with a mentor, take 30 minutes to repeat what you just learned. Rewrite the code without looking at the notes.

4. Take Advantage of Commuting Time

On the train or waiting for the bus? Use that time to read documentation or watch recordings of missed sessions.

5. Communicate to Nearby Neighborhoods

Let your family or partner know that you are in an intensive period of study. Ask for their support so that your study time is not interrupted, especially on weekends.

6. Focus on One Skill First

Don't try to learn React, Node.js, and Docker all at once. Choose one path, complete to completion, then move on to the next skill.

Remember, learning to code is not a sprint but a marathon. The important thing is to be consistent, not fast.
