Summary
There’s a lot of hype about being a programmer - but you want to know what it is actually like.
When Nadya graduated from a liberal arts college with an arts degree she was apprehensive about pursuing a programming career path. She didn’t know anyone in the field, and she didn’t know what skills she needed to succeed.
It wasn’t until she spent two years teaching herself web development online, participated in hackathons, and took on some short-term contracts before she got her first job at a startup and felt like her career actually started going somewhere.
Fast forward five years and Nadya has tripled her salary, shipped several games, moved to a metropolitan city, and had writing featured in numerous tech-themed publications.
