I chat with Michael, a self-taught developer, about his journey learning Ruby on Rails through project-based learning. 

We discuss Rails’ philosophy, early projects, overcoming challenges, and the importance of community and structure for self-taught developers.
 
Michael shares resources and advice for aspiring developers navigating their learning path and why Odin Project has worked so well for him.
