Pybites Podcast
Introduction
Episode 00! We introduce ourselves and what this Podcast is about. Yes, we're refusing to call it our Hello World episode :)
G'day and welcome to episode Zero of the Pie Bytes podcast. I'm Julian Sequira. And I'm Bob Balderboss. Welcome. This is a very, very exciting day for us. This is the episode Zero, the very first episode of this podcast that we've decided to create for you our py bytes and Python and anyone community. And essentially, we've made this as a way to share everything we've learned over our career so far. And Bob, why don't you tell everyone what that entails? Yeah, we're super excited about this. It was a long time in the making, and we are going to talk a lot of python, but also about career tips and mindset, which we found to be equally, if not more important, to succeed. Yep, there's so much in there. And if any of you follow us already, you would have seen us on Twitter, on slack, email, you name it. We. We just. There's so many things to teach, to learn, and we love to help people grow. That's what we do. That's what PI Bytes is all about. We help Python developers with their careers, with the Python skills and mindset, communication. All of those things really build out a well formed Python developer, and that's what we do. So you can expect by listening to this podcast that you're going to learn more mindset tips. As Bob said, career tips. You're going to learn Python, you're going to. You're going to have a laugh. Because serious as we are, we don't take ourselves too seriously, and we love to have a bit of fun, quick introduction on who we are before we move into episode one. So I'm Julian Sequira. I am a developer by trade now and by hobby. So I used to code on the side while I worked at some of the largest companies on the planet, doing a lot of enterprise hardware, working in data centers, that sort of stuff. And I eventually moved into being a Python developer in one of those companies. And now, along with Pibytes, which we started in 2016, I've really just come to love the language, love tinkering with it, helping people with it, coaching and everything. What about you, Bob? I'm a self talk developer programmer. Started back in 2009 making websites, PHP. I was a support engineer right then, and I started to build support tools using PHP later Perl. But then in 2012, I discovered Python and never looked back. I grew into a software developer role, and as Julian said, 2016, we started Py bytes. And yeah, that was really the fast lane, learning more Python and share it and helping people. And, yeah, that, I think, is the common thread. Like, we just really enjoy and are passionate about helping people grow their careers using Python. Yeah. And that's, that's what led to our, pretty much our slogan, which is learn by doing. Right. If you're going to learn something, you better just implement straight away. That's the best way to learn. So we're going to stop there. So thank you for listening. We really, really hope you enjoy this series. And welcome aboard. Yeah. Stay tuned for a lot of good stuff to come.
