About this episode
This week we talk with Yujian, software developer and entrepreneur.
We dive into:
- His background.
- Why he uses Python and the switch from Java.
- His core Python focus these days + cool side projects he's maintaining.
- How entrepreneurship is fundamentally different from software engineering.
- His viral post on certificates vs the reality of looking things up as a programmer.
- Book tips (The hard things about hard things, The startup of you and Grit).
- And of course the importance of mindset as a developer (we cannot leave out the Julian question right?!)
