A tip on Googling. Take your time in finding answers. They don't come in a day or maybe even a week. Don't blame yourself for not finding something, or say that it's not on the internet because it's gonna be somewhere. Sometimes the answer isn't spoon-fed to us but instead, we have to take information from multiple sources and create links b/w them and try to figure out ourselves how they're related and understand the bigger picture. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thatdevsherry/message

Hey podcast, I've been away for a while with this thing. Let's try doing regular podcasts again. I go over what I've been up to recently which is different from what I initially said in the previous podcast.
So now I've put myself in a situation which you might find relatable.
Hey podcast! I talk about the events that led up to me taking this decision. I think people can relate to it. Hope it brings value.
Hey Podcast! I get asked this question about how I managed to convince my parents that I won't be going to university. People say their parents won't listen to them. In this episode, I go over what you need to rethink and what you need to execute on. Hope it provides value.
I've seen people complain about not having references. Stop complaining and start building your professional network. No one gets their professional network built when they're born. You have to work on it.
I give an overview about my story of hustling for 2 years learning and writing code to getting my first job. I also shed some light on why I'm doing this podcast and what I want you to get from it.
