Quincy Larson over at freeCodeCamp had me on their podcast to discuss how the rapidly changing software industry is impacting junior developers and what they can do about it. I don't normally spend time talking about this stuff, because I started programming in the 90s and can't claim to know anything about what it's like to just be starting now. I've also always discouraged people from getting into software development unless they're super passionate about it, which has been out of step with the "learn to code" hype train that gathered steam over the last fifteen years only to run into a brick wall recently.

His audience is way larger and composed of quite different people than those who follow my stuff, so I strongly recommend you read every last YouTube comment. Some pretty crazy shit, if I'm being honest. Makes me glad I don't have 11 million subscribers.
