This week we’re joined by Zach Gibb, a Software Engineer at Hoard, for a conversation about how he transformed from having no interest in computers to using them every day to creatively solve problems.

While we certainly learn a lot about what programming is, and how someone might get started building websites, we also talk about other communication skills that make someone great at working with others.

Show Notes
