We're Emma Bostian, Sidney Buckner, Kelly Vaughn, and Ali Spittel - four seasoned software developers working in different sectors. Since there's a major lack of technical podcasts out there, we've decided to start one. Just kidding -- there's already a ton!

We'll have great discussions around how to start coding, the hot technologies right now, how to get your first developer job, and more! Check out our website!
