We have a modern tech stack, full-stack Typescript with a GraphQL API. We run node on the BE and React on the FE.
It's actually easier to get a programming job in the adult industry I think as there are so many people who refuse to work in this industry because of moral or societal biases.
My advice is the same for anybody looking to become a developer:
-
Learn how to code. I recommend javascript as it's the most ubiquitous language and you can most easily work full-stack if you know javascript.
-
Practice. Do exercises on Leetcode or Hackerrank. Build your own things. Get good enough where you don't need to google in order to code simple tasks.
-
Pick a focus (e.g. web or mobile or backend). It's really hard to be a decent full-stack developer. Pick an area that you enjoy and get really good at it. You'll be much more hirable.
-
Interview, a lot. You'll probably need to interview at 10-20 companies before you can do well enough at the interview to get hired. This means you probably need to apply to 50 to 100 jobs just to past the recruiters and get enough interviews. At this stage in your career, it's a numbers game. Improve your odds by being a great communicator and a great problem solver.

Use Porndora, a lot. :) Lmk what you think of the site. As soon as you're ready, I'm happy to interview you for a role at Porndora. We're always looking for talented people who want to change the adult industry for the better.

Okay, I will get on that soon. Due to some prior commitments, I won’t be able to put full effort into learning programming yet. Will have free time in late December, so I’ll get on that!
Even thought of trying to get into porn as an amateur. Thought those two would go well together
