In this episode we speak with Johnny Dallas. Johnny started coding in middle school, got a paid internship and eventually ended up dropping out of high school to be a software engineer full-time. The company Johnny worked for was eventually acquired. He became one of the youngest engineers at Amazon and recently left to start his own company.
In our conversation, Johnny and I discussed the best ways to learn, strategies for pursuing jobs and mentors, and the needs behind his new startup. Enjoy!
