I want to take a moment to highlight the incredible achievement of Ronald and his recent project: Lyrical Genius. Ronaldβs dedication to learning and honing his skills has led to the creation of a remarkable website that provides song lyric information through the use of two APIs. This is an outstanding example of how self-directed learning and hard work can lead to amazing accomplishments. Ronaldβs project not only showcases his technical expertise but also his creativity and problem-solving skills. Itβs inspiring to see someone take the initiative to create something useful and valuable to others, and I have no doubt that this project will serve as an inspiration to many. Congratulations, Ronald, on your impressive achievement!

Meet Emre Albayrak πΉπ·! Emre is a classical pianist from Turkey who decided to change careers, so he trained as a pilot! But then, the pandemic hit. Looking for something else to do (yet again), Emre discovered coding, tried it, and realized he enjoyed it! Only a year after starting to learn to code, Emre landed a job at an international IT company.
βIn this episode, Emre talks about his long and winding but also efficient path to becoming a developer. Youβll hear how he learned to code, what resources he used, and how he approached his portfolio projects and job applications! You will probably learn something about keeping up your motivation and managing stage fright before your interviews.
