Ever feel like learning to code is impossible with your packed schedule?

You're not alone.
Ten years ago, I was juggling parenting two kids, working full-time with a brutal Bay Area commute, and driving Lyft on the side just to make ends meet. Finding time seemed impossible—until I discovered three game-changing strategies that transformed my journey.

No fluff - just practical stuff you can start doing now.

PS.

Here's a really solid web dev roadmap I found on Reddit that you might find useful. Link

#230 - AI Will Replace Most Coding: What Chief Scientist Laly Bar-Ilan Says Developers Should Learn Next 29:54

29:54

Send a text and I may answer it on next episode (I cannot reply from this service 😢) Laly Bar-Ilan has been working in AI and natural language processing for over two decades—long before it was trendy. She’s now the Chief Scientist at Bit , where she’s helping build composable, AI-first developer tools that might just replace most of the coding we do today. In this episode, we talk about what staying ahead actually looks like for developers in an AI-driven world. Laly shares what skills are becoming obsolete, what new ones are emerging (RAG, agents, prompt engineering), and why “vibe coding” alone won’t cut it. If you’re wondering how to future-proof your dev career—or whether learning to code still matters—this conversation will give you both clarity and direction.

Send a text and I may answer it on next episode (I cannot reply from this service 😢) The job market in 2025 feels broken—and you’re not imagining it. AI-generated spam is clogging recruiter inboxes, resumes are becoming less relevant, and LinkedIn is more influencer platform than job board. In this episode, I break down why things feel so hard right now (for everyone —not just developers), and give you a practical, modern strategy to stand out and actually get hired: ✅ What to do instead of blasting resumes ✅ How to play the LinkedIn game without becoming a cringe poster ✅ Old-school tactics that still work (and new tools I recommend) If you’re stuck, overwhelmed, or just tired of bad advice from people who’ve never written code for a living—this one’s for you.

Send a text and I may answer it on next episode (I cannot reply from this service 😢) No one said it would be easy. If you're having trouble learning JS, you're not alone. I nearly quit coding when I had to learn JS. I even considered trying to become an email developer (yes, this was a thing). Fast forward 10 years later and I've made a career with JS and even teach it to others. I want you to have a much better experience. We will explore the 3 stages of learning JS to take you from 0 to ready to learn ReactJS with practical, actionable steps and the projects and resources you can use to learn.

#226 - New Coders Can't Code? 28:36

15 gün önce28:36

28:36

Send a text and I may answer it on next episode (I cannot reply from this service 😢) The rise of AI coding tools has fundamentally changed how people learn programming, creating a concerning trend: developers who can produce impressive-looking applications without understanding how they work. What makes a developer truly valuable? Contrary to popular belief, it's not the ability to rapidly generate new code. A revealing LinkedIn survey showed 73% of experienced developers spend most of their time reading existing code rather than writing it. The real value comes from engineering judgment – knowing which approach to take and understanding why certain solutions work better than others. "The entire act of keystrokes is not what the value in software engineering is." Instead, it's about developing the mental models that let you reason through complex systems. "If you don't know what this code is doing, then why is it in the codebase? And why is your name on it?"

I’ve been coding professionally for over a decade, and while a bootcamp kick-started my career, it didn’t teach me everything I needed to stay hired.

We’ll cover why bootcamps fall short, what skills really get you hired, and how to ensure you’re not just another bootcamp grad struggling to land a job.
