Init - A Guided Web Development Journey

10 Years of Huge Embarrassing Failures


Listen Later

Dude, in their latest podcast episode, Jacob Pacheco and Seth Whiting totally ride the coding wave, you know? Seth, who's been in the code game for a solid 10 years, recalls this gnarly design mishap from back in the day. And Jacob, who's kinda new to coding, like around five months, drops some comic gold about "developer months" and how it's sorta like his gig as a barber, man.

So, the whole podcast is like, totally about these "mega cringe-worthy wipeouts," you feel me? And, of course, they're dishing on their wild job interview tales in the coding world. Seth's got this crazy story where he totally biffs the language requirements and has to cram-learn a new one and a fresh framework, bro.

But wait, there's more, man! They cruise through different topics, like Androids vs. Macs and Seth's interview with Lonely Planet, where he admits to not being fully prepped but had to hustle, ya know? Then it's all about error handling, making sure users don't catch those gnarly blank screens and bogus data.

Seth talks about leveling up his confidence in tech interviews, following his passions, and giving a major shoutout to Khan Academy, all about changing the education game with tech, dude.

They drop wisdom bombs about getting hands-on with coding projects, even if you're not totally dialed in, and how the journey of learning and growth never stops in the software realm.

Lastly, they chat about AI, bro. How it might affect coding gigs but, like, developers will still be the real heroes, checking and improving AI-made code. And hey, they're stoked for you to hit 'em up on Twitter and remind you that they drop fresh episodes every Tuesday, brah!
