The Pybites Podcast - Insights to become a world-class developer.
Coding is only half the battle. To truly succeed in the tech industry, you need more than just syntax, you need strategy.
The Pybites Podcast is your weekly mentorship session on the soft skills and career skills that senior developers use to get ahead.
Join Pybites co-founders Bob Belderbos (ex-Oracle) and Julian Sequeira (ex-AWS) as they share real-world insights on mastering the developer mindset, crushing imposter syndrome, and navigating your career with confidence.
Whether you are a self-taught beginner stuck in tutorial hell or a senior dev looking for that extra edge, we cut through the fluff to help you build a career you love.

#173 - Pybites Platform 2.0 is here!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome back to the Pybites podcast! Today we have some really exciting news: we’ve just launched our brand-new coding platform!
Check it out here.
After nearly 7 years and almost 50K sign-ups on v1 (codechalleng.es), the design started to show its age. That’s why we did a complete overhaul to create our new 2.0 platform. It's faster, cleaner, more responsive, and more affordable.
In this episode, Bob and Julian discuss why v2 is such a big improvement, the motivation behind the rewrite, behind-the-scenes insights into how it all came together, some technical challenges we faced, and one of our most exciting new features: parity pricing (pricing in your local currency based on where you live).
Enjoy, and we hope to see you coding more Python with us on the new platform!
