Develop Yourself

#110 - I spoke to 500 developers from all around the world - here are 4 takeaways


Listen Later

About a year ago an event happened that gave me a very unique perspective on the web dev world: Kyle Simpson, world famous JS developer reposted me. My notifications blew tf up, and I got over 500 15-minute calls scheduled. I spent the next year talking to all of these people!

I got to help people improve their resumes, fix their LinkedIn profiles and interview approach or just offered an ear to vent. 

The crazy thing is that after all these calls, I found that most of us are more alike than I could've imagined. We ultimately work on similar projects with similar tech stacks and face many of the same issues.

I'm done offering these calls... except I'm going to do a bit of an experiment here. If you are reading this and currently confused on your own path towards coding - grab a few minutes on my calendar by clicking here. Hope I don't regret this 😬.
