Breaking Into Tech: How To Become a Self-Taught Developer with Kent Utterback - Ep. 66
About this episode
If you've been thinking about getting into software development, coding, and software engineering, this episode is for you!
Ken is a wealth of knowledge and we were very lucky to have him sit down and go over what he did and what you can do to become a software engineer!
In this episode, we talked about:
• How Kent worked his way up from a customer service role to becoming a senior software engineer • How you can be a software engineer/developer without a degree and experience, and what are the best resources to learn • How you can learn which languages or technologies you should learn by finding a job backwards
Ryan and Kent also talked about the day-to-day life of a software engineer and how you can prevent tutorial hell.
Hope you all enjoy this fun conversation and value-packed episode!
