We cover:

  • Why even smart, driven people need help when learning to code
  • What ADHD looks like as a software engineer—and how she manages it
  • How burnout hit hard after landing the job
  • Why public speaking became a surprising superpower
  • Getting hired without ever doing a technical interview
  • Her honest take on AI tools, TypeScript, LinkedIn vs. Twitter, and more
