From doing data entry to becoming a developer with Jessica Chan AKA Coder Coder [Podcast

On this week's episode of the podcast, freeCodeCamp founder Quincy Larson interviews Jessica Chan AKA Coder Coder. She's a software engineer has worked in the field for more than a decade. Interestingly, she studied photography in school and never took a programming class. We talk about: How she and her sister ran a dial-in Bulletin Board System (BBS) back in the pre-web days How her first year as a dev she "was just living in abject fear of losing my job." How she stayed at her first developer agency job for 7 years, and went from imposter syndrome afflicted newbie to getting promoted Her philosophy on creating programming tutorials: "You don't have to be on the cutting edge. I don't operate on the cutting edge." Can you guess what song I'm playing on my bass during the intro? It's from a 1993 rock song.
