You need to code to get better at coding -- That's something you'll hear me say all of the time. But my guest today, John Crickett, has taken this to a WHOLE new level! John is the author of the extremely popular newsletter called Coding Challenges. He's created this to give software developers the focus that many of them need to go practice building things.
This was an AWESOME interview and I was excited to hear all about John's career. He shares information about jumping between different programming languages and even going back and forth between roles. I think John has a ton of wisdom that you can learn from so I hope that you enjoy!
