Episode notes

Encourage kids, especially minorities, to focus on developing dynamic thinking abilities rather than specific programming languages. Teach them to be adaptable and flexible, as new programming languages will emerge over time. Emphasize the importance of nurturing the ability to adapt and think on their feet, rather than solely focusing on mastering one specific language. Equip them with the skills to be versatile and agile in a rapidly changing technological landscape.

Iddris Sandu is only 22, but his life story is already legendary. This Architectural Technologist learned to program at the age of 11 and has worked with everyone from Kanye West to Nipsey Hussle to Space X. We talk coding, web design, holograms, and how programming works and what languages should you learn and why it's important. The designer and entrepreneur also shares his creative process, favorite programming languages, philosophies on future technology and why empathy matters in life and in design. He’s a true inspiration and Alie shamelessly begged him for life advice. Bonus: this one is pretty kid-friendly so spread it around to anyone who needs a new hero.
