On this week's episode of the podcast, freeCodeCamp founder Quincy Larson interviews Braydon Coyer. He's a software engineer who started building mobile apps in high school – one of which even out-sold Angry Birds for a few days. He dropped out of his computer science degree program once he landed his first web developer job and never went back.

We talk about:

  • Mobile app development VS web app development

  • Strategies for applying for developer roles

  • How useful is a CS degree really?

  • Sane ways to integrate AI into your developer workflows
