This week we have Jim Hodapp on our podcast.
We talk about his career journey going from software engineer + manager to full-time developer coach, some of the tactics he uses with his clients, and why coaching is a powerful tool for software engineers.
Then we pivot to a more technical discussion about Rust, his passion for the language, why it's an interesting language to consider, also for Python developers, and to his developer community Rust Never Sleeps.
We hope you enjoy this interview and that it inspires (and challenges) you to keep learning new things and expand your horizons.
