On this week's podcast, I interview Kevin Miller. He's a senior developer and host of the Coder Conversations YouTube channel.
Kevin studied accounting in Texas and worked overnight for 7 years at hotels, making only $11 an hour. But his knowledge of spreadsheets lead to him learning more about programming and automation.
After spending a year living with his parents and teaching himself to code full time, Kevin landed his first developer job. He immediately tripled his income.
Kevin has since worked as a dev at several Fortune 500 companies. But it's been a bumpy ride. He's been laid off 3 times due to mergers and employers just running out of money.
He started Coder Conversations as a way for him and fellow developers to talk about technology and share career advice. He now has 200 episodes.
I hope you're digging these weekly freeCodeCamp podcasts. Be sure to leave us a review. And download a few episodes so you can learn on the go.
Tell your friends about the freeCodeCamp podcast. Let's inspire more folks to learn to code and build careers for themselves in tech.
