Yeah, you read it right on the thumbnail. A freakin' PhD! I was fortunate to sit down with John Vandivier of Ladderly.io to talk about his approach to helping guide software engineers to employment.
This conversation was awesome because you're going to hear some cool perspectives from John (many of which I strongly align with) but... He can back them up with data. That's what makes this so awesome -- it's not just a "Source - Trust me, bro".
Thanks for the awesome chat, John!
