"Learn to program"

People are still repeating this meme?

But seriously while Uber and other companies are laying off thousands it's probably one of the worst times to try to enter the market as a new SWE.

No, it's not.One won't enter the market today,as it'd take 6-12 month to get to the point where you know the basics. Such a person wouldn't be competing with those from Uber,as the level of seniority is completely different. 100% junior dev jobs may be hard to come across over the upcoming months, however there are tons of jobs out there that would absolutely benefit from having someone who can write even basic scripts.
