How can a humanist become a programmer?

Question

IT education

Hello. I am finishing my second year in the specialty: historian. As a matter of fact, I was disappointed in the profession, I have no desire to be one, I study for the sake of a diploma, it can still come in handy. I wanted to become a programmer. There are several reasons. Naturally, money, but also the opportunity to realize yourself, change your profession and just a desire to plunge into the world of IT.
I realized for myself that I want to do web development, and specifically the server part, since it seems to me much more interesting to understand the structure of the internal part of the site and work directly with it. A friend took me to a small company where I work on Yii, but I do small tasks there, nothing serious so far due to lack of knowledge.
And here is the question itself, how best to study backend development? How can you change your thinking, because in high school it was normal with programming, well, there is Pascal, but because of ignorance of mathematics, I closed the road to IT for myself

Answer 1

Fuck it to read and fuck it to write, there is no other way out.

Answer 2

Naturally money

It's not enough to just be a programmer. To have money, you have to be a good programmer. So while you are learning, try yourself in this, by self-education. If it doesn’t work, maybe it’s still worth becoming a good historian? Programmers earn a lot - this is 95% a myth. Professionals earn a lot, regardless of profession. There is of course a + - fork for different professions. But more depends on the personalities.
Reading documentation, analyzing interesting problems, a lot of practice
auto-training and work in the specialty
