Ivan Novak has been weaving his own way through the tech world since 2006. Seventeen years on, he is now a self-taught software engineer. Ivan caught my attention after reading a blog post on Dev.to - passion and paying projects.
In this episode, we have a fascinating and thought-provoking discussion on this and other topics surrounding the creative field in which we all live and work.
