The Backend Engineering Show with Hussein Nasser
Welcome to the Backend Engineering Show podcast with your host Hussein Nasser. If you like software engineering you’ve come to the right place. I discuss all sorts of software engineering technologies and news with specific focus on the backend. All opinions are my own.
Most of my content in the podcast is an audio version of videos I post on my youtube channel here http://www.youtube.com/c/HusseinNasser-software-engineering

Episode 25 - Cash in on your passion
This episode is pulled from my vlog right after I finished Gary vee book Crush it. Today I finished @garyvee book Crush it (Cash in on Your Passion). I read alot of books but dont necessary review them in my SM. However this book is different, though written 9 years ago and some technologies are dead but that in itself shows this guy jumps on bleeding edge technologies like there is no tomorrow which I love. Never mind, that book actually inspired me to twist Gary’s ideas in the software engineering realm. And that is the topic of the vlog, you are passionate about 8 bit video game development? Build a community around it. You really genuinely love the assembly language? Build software with assembly and make videos and show your love, you will be surprised how many engineers share your interest. Cant wait for Gary’s new book Crushing it! - I would really like to thank my YouTube mentor @robertoblake for introducing me to such passionate person.
