I invited 3 self-taught developers on to talk about their journeys of becoming professional developers and share advice on how you can follow the same path. At a time where opportunities are limited due to the pandemic, we need all options on the table more than ever. If you believe that the only way to become a professional developer is to invest in a college degree or coding bootcamp, why not listen to a few developers who carved out their own path?

Topics/Questions:
0:00 - Intros
8:51 - What industry did you come from and how did you get into coding?
35:54 - Sponsor me TeamTreehouse :)
37:20 - How to overcome a few common problems self-taught developers usually get stuck on
50:31 - If you had to become a software engineer all over again, what would you do differently?
1:10:44 - Outros
