“I think one of the key qualities you need if you're going to work in this industry is the ability to just keep coming back to the problem. Be persistent.” On today's episode, we have John Martin. John is a technology enthusiast who has been programming since he taught himself BBC BASIC at the age of 7. His career-to-date spans over 15 years of professional software development across a range of industries, from dynamic start-up environments to large-scale, complex, systems integrations projects for enterprise.

We go over freelancing vs working in the corporate world and John shares advice on what to do if you're starting to "fall out of love" with programming.

Small Talk Tech is a podcast series focused on interviewing people who work in various technology fields. From beginners learning their craft to masters at the highest level of proficiency, I believe that everyone has something profound to share. Through sharing their experiences, we hope to draw out the habits and mindset that will help you become better at whatever technological mountains (or molehills) stand in front of you.
