It’s the last episode! I’m sharing the biggest lessons I wish I knew when I first started learning to code, and also what’s still to come on the Start Over Coder journey.

My Parting Advice

1. Set a clear goal from the beginning

2. Build actual projects

3. Work with other people from the beginning

4. Teach someone else what you know

5. What to learn? Keep it basic and go deep

What’s Next for the Start Over Coder

Despite this being my “parting advice,” I’m not stopping coding or actually going anywhere! Though the podcast is coming to an end, my main goals (check out episodes two and four to hear about them) are still very much in play.
