    The open curriculum for learning web development

    You can do anything from a bootcamp to self teaching. Frankly, if you were motivated enough to finish and defend a thesis, I trust that you can make yourself learn enough programming to be employed without needing to pay someone to impose external deadlines on you which is all you're getting out of a bootcamp. A great first step would be spending time going through the program on this completely free website that aims to help people transfer into software engineering: The Odin Project. By the end of that you'll have some projects you can show to prospective employers and they will even help you with networking to get that first job on their free Slack. Getting a really well paying / high level job would require you to also get comfortable with the technical side of SE interviews. The resource software engineers typically use to do this is called leet code.
