Sometimes you really just have to do what no one else is willing to do. This is the main message that I received from this weeks episode of the Self-Taught Devs podcast. This week, Eric Winkelspecht and I speak with Steven Sheaves who details his 4 year journey from the restaurant industry to software engineer. He discusses the projects he worked on, how he got experience without first having a job and what he did to stand out. A link to this weeks episode is in the comments How long did it take you to secure your first role as a developer? #softwaredevelopment #webdevelopment #softwareengineer

Steven Sheaves is such great a role model for putting in the work and demonstrating ways to give back to the dev community! For me if it took about 20 months from writing my first <p> tag to signed full time offer
