<p>On today's episode, Quincy Larson interviews Laurence Bradford. She's the creator the LearnToCodeWith.me blog and podcast, and the Newbie Coder Warehouse Facebook group.</p> <p>As a college student, Laurence was so technologically illiterate that her school made her take a remedial computer class. This made her doubt that she had a future in technology. And she ended up studying Economics instead, and moving to Asia to work in economic development.</p> <p>Years later, Laurence decided to learn some basic web development skills. She found a help-wanted ad on Craigslist and landed her first gig as a freelance developer.</p> <p>Since then, Laurence has worked as a developer and a product manager. She's written extensively about technology and programming in Forbes and on her blog. And she's interviewed nearly 100 developers on her LearnToCodeWith.me podcast.</p> <p> </p> <p>Interview by Quincy Larson: <a href="https://twitter.com/ossia">https://twitter.com/ossia</a></p> <div>Laurence Bradford on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/learncodewithme">https://twitter.com/learncodewithme</a></div> <div> </div> <div>LearnToCodeWith.me Website: <a href="https://learntocodewith.me">https://learntocodewith.me</a></div> <p>Learn to code for free at: <a href="https://www.freecodecamp.org/">https://www.freecodecamp.org</a></p> <p>Intro music by Vangough: <a href="https://fcc.im/2APOG02">https://fcc.im/2APOG02</a></p>
