English literature student - full stack developer now. Few pointers based on my experience but they may not be applicable for all though.
# Don't sweat on Math skills. There is a vast majority of area were your logical reasoning would just be enough.
# Don't let your artistic inclination limit your initial learning process. If your basics are strong - you will never feel like drowning.
# Don't let any source code scare you. Trust me - it's always easier than it looks.
# Don't try to pick a domain as the go to destination - not yet. You can take informed decision when you have hands-on experience.
# Don't try to have just one trick up your sleeve. Width is more important until you can hit the depth.
# Don't marry yourself to any technology but choose your allegiance(eg. Open Source).
# Don't miss local developer meet ups and conferences.
# Don't pick a big corporation or become a freelancer or any remote jobs for your initial stint. Startups are the best place but with the development team size being more than two people.
