After a modest launch among friends, Josh earned the attention of local news stations. COVID INVADERS 👾. went from a few hundred players to a few thousand. It was an overnight hit!

On the topic of hits, Josh performed a freestyle rap to accompany the game. He even rapped about Scrimba in our interview since it was the Frontend Developer Career Path that helped him build the game!

In this interview, Alex from Scrimba spoke to Josh about:

• How Josh got freelance clients at 15
• Why Josh doesn't care about a Computer Science degree
• Do young people have an unfair advantage when learning to code?
• How a can-do attitude and a knack for marketing earned Josh such an exciting opportunity
• How Josh went viral by identifying a trend, making the game work on all platforms (à la Fortnite), and promoting the fact he was young to his advantage - fair play 👏!
