Starting Over During Corona and becoming a jr dev


What would you advise something starting over in their career who wants to become a jr. developer?

In LA there are a few bootcamps that are available at a pretty stiff price but they may have connections to get a jr. developer placed for their first programming gig. One in particular seems to only teach javascript for the life of the program. Is that enough to land a jr. dev job?

Additional facts: 40 yrs old, product manager, comfortable with working in ubuntu and git, previously managed teams in multiple specialities marketing, tech, product.

Currently using udemy to get the basics of programming down and starting to build a toy project in the next 4 weeks.

Open to hybrid roles as long as I get to code.
