Develop Yourself

Some big changes are happening at Parsity and the podcast! Aaron and Peter will be pursuing other endeavors and Brian Jenney, who you've heard host a few guest episodes already, will be taking over. Brian is an engineering manager and JS developer.

If you'll miss Aaron, don't be too sad --  Aaron will be a recurring "guest" on the podcast, so you will still get to hear from him now and then.

Brian is really looking forward to building on the amazing foundation Aaron has created and will be unveiling some exciting curriculum updates very soon at Parsity, as well as more coding-related topics to the pod.

This week you'll also learn more about where Aaron and Peter are going in life right now.

In this episode, Peter discusses the value of vanilla JavaScript. In particular, we talk about the importance of learning the foundations of JavaScript when you're first starting out, the boost given to developers by updates to the JavaScript standard, and the appeal of vanilla JavaScript in a world of breaking dependencies.

Join Aaron and Peter for their catchup episode as they share success stories, failure stories, and stories in-between from their 10+ years of bootcamp experience.

Their big takeaway was from those "in-between" stories they share, where students are taking a turn for the worst, then turn it around and persevere to be successful. They've said it before and will say it again: If you don't quit, you will have success!

Peter shares his own story of being on the failing path, then evolving his work ethic and mindset to turn it around and not only graduate from bootcamps, but continue on to gain success in his own work.

They hope you can hear these stories, be encouraged, and identify yourself as someone who will do well -- Because you will!
