Growing up in Nashville and having no access to high technology, I was at a huge disadvantage trying to become a coder. If it hadn't been for luck, my parents buying a PC and letting me do things to it, Robert X Cringely's NerdTV, and lots of hours tinkering, I would never have made it.
I was an early-ish engineer at Facebook (2009-2016) and now I run a tech company. To date, I've done in the neighbourhood of 1,000 tech interviews. I've hired people away from Google, Facebook, Lyft, DeepMind, Amazon, and a bunch of other companies.
This channel is my attempt to give away what I've learned the hard way so that people coming from places and backgrounds that don't have to make as many mistakes as I did!
