Dude, so like, in this totally tubular podcast episode with Seth, Jake, and the coding guru Wes Bos, they're all, "Yo, what's up?" and chat about their coding journeys. Seth, this gnarly full-stack developer for over a decade, Jake, this barber from Augusta, Maine, just kickin' it in code for seven months, and Wes Bos, this coding legend with 23 years under his belt and famous for his coding courses, they all share their stories, man.
Wes talks about how he got started, building websites and tackling gnarly projects. He's all about how coding is like a tool for solving problems, and he loves dropping knowledge to help others on their coding quests. He's all about the importance of stickin' with it and getting hyped about what you're building, especially when JavaScript's throwing you for a loop.
They dive into the challenges of web development, and Wes talks about those days when you're like, "Whoa, did I even code today?" But they all agree, those tough days are where you grow. They chat about when you're "ready" for a coding gig – Wes says it's when you can build CRUD apps, even if you don't know it all, as long as you can troubleshoot and learn on the fly.
Wes also shares his journey, goin' from odd jobs to freelancing, and how the job market's got room for folks with potential and a hunger to learn. They're cruisin' along, talking about how to start in web dev, Wes says to kick it off with HTML and CSS, man, get those basics down. He's all about soft skills and communication, too – says networking's key and that everyone's learning and problem-solvin', no imposters here.
Then they get into flexin' those career paths, from full-stack to specializing like in WordPress. Wes drops some wisdom about adaptin' your learning path to your goals and what gets you stoked. Finally, they wrap it up, showin' gratitude to Wes, pluggin' his courses and the "Syntax" podcast, and tellin' aspiring devs to ride that wave of enthusiasm, stay persistent, and ride to success in the coding world, man.
Check out Wes Bos's rad courses at wesbos.com/courses, and ride the coding vibes with the Syntax podcast co-hosted by Wes Bos and Scott Tolinski for some sick web dev insights, dude. And remember, keep the stoke alive and ride that coding wave to success, bro!
