Lyrics:

Hey Al Rodriguez x3 Welcome to the show,

Did you hear, For IOT he has passion, Take his hand, He'll show us a place, Where connection never ends,

Through the cloud, Arduino's way, On a ray of bytes Flying through the air, It is open source, So join the serenade, One board, One board to rule them all

• Imagine the code without comments. Neither could I. They are the necessary evil and in this episode I am trying to tackle the topic of commenting
• I'll be trying to answer the question of how to write them, what to do and what not to do when writing the comments
• Let's take a walk down that familiar path that can lead is straight into a ditch if we take a wrong turn.
• Any comments? (... thank you, I will show myself out... )

This week I have Lee Warrick from TechJR.  Thinking of pursuing a career as a programmer? Lee Warrick and Edwin Otero explore what it's like to break into the Tech field as junior developers as well as how to stay up-to-date on new technology.

We talked about how to get started in the industry, education, general team chemistry and technology stack.
