Carolyn took us to the start of her career, as a journalist searching for a job in a foreign country. She told us how she found her first job writing tech documentation, and how this gave her the wish to learn to code. We talked about finding your path where you don't even know what to search for, tiptoeing in dev and becoming a technical writer. We talked about public speaking and how Carolyn found a sweet spot that makes use of her unique skills as a dev, a journalist and a storyteller.Here are the links of the show:https://www.twitter.com/carolstranhttps://github.com/carolstran/cvMozilla Tech Speaker community: https://developer.mozilla.com/communities/mozilla-tech-speakersUpcoming "You Got This" conference: https://home.yougotthis.ioBootcamp https://www.spiced-academy.comZigZag podcast about Blockchain: https://zigzagpod.com/2018/06/14/episode-2People mentioned in the episode:Stefan Judis: https://twitter.com/stefanjudisDominik Kundel https://twitter.com/DKundelShirley Wu https://twitter.com/sxywuIstvan Szmozsanszky https://twitter.com/slsoftworksHavi Hoffman https://twitter.com/freshelectronsCreditsMusic Aye by Yung Kartz is licensed CC BY-NC-ND 4.0.Your hostSoftware Developer‘s Journey is hosted and produced by Timothée (Tim) Bourguignon, a crazy frenchman living in Germany, who dedicated his life to helping others learn & grow.
