Ryan Talbert, author of 101 Tips: TypeScript, React, and JavaScript has a hell of a developer origin story:

Part 1: Went to school for entrepreneurship
Part 2: Scammed by a shady developer who stole his life savings
Part 3: Learned to code from tutorials
Part 4: Becomes a software engineer and LinkedIn personality
Part 5: This interview 😎

Ryan breaks down a very unconventional path from administrative assistant to software engineer to author and thoughts on what early career coders can do to stand out, get hired as well as hot takes on TypeScript and the JavaScript landscape.
