About this Episode

I would say using teaching as a way to get better at something is a really good approach. And I would say that if you don't have a lot of knowledge, you shouldn't think you can't teach. I'm very much a proponent of ... being able to take ideas you have and using them to kind of affect your surroundings. And I think that teaching is a great way to do that.


Hosts Karin Thorne and Kelly Corey chat with Ryan Gaus about choosing to work for a software company instead of going to college, his experience teaching at Careers in Code, and his journey as a self-taught developer. Ryan also shouts out some past attendees of the OpenHack Meetup and talks to us about a cool project he's working on with his mom.


This episode is part V of our series: Catching Up with Careers in Code! We chat with founders, instructors/TAs, and students of the first CiC cohort about their experience and where they'd like to see the program go in the future.
