On this weekly show, I speak with successful devs about their advice on learning to code and getting your first junior dev job. Hello and welcome to The Scrimba Podcast. Your background does not determine your future. Then, I didn't have a connection to the internet for a pretty long while, but still, it hasn't prevented me from learning to code and kind of moving first to Poland then moving to London to work in big tech companies. My family could afford the computer when I was 15.
