I've been working in tech for ~6 years in non-development roles, but I recently graduated a full-stack coding bootcamp to learn the coding side of things and am working on changing career paths now.
My stack is currently Ruby-on-Rails (with SQL/ActiveRecord) and React.js, but this is mostly because that's what the bootcamp taught. If I were to start over again, I would probably learn PHP to start instead of Ruby. There's just a lot more demand for entry-level PHP developers in today's market.
As luck would have it, my first post was about my journey, so feel free to take a look there and let me know if you want further details about anything.
How about yourself? Where are you in your journey?
Sure, the backend challenge was part of the interview process at a company called Fetch Rewards. They sent me some specs and asked me to build a web service.

Another great article 👍🙌. I would like to know more about the backend coding challenge and about your journey as a full stack web developer.
Thanks!
Sure, I'm happy to share. Anything specific that you're curious about?
How did you got started with web development? Your tech stack?
