“Saron Yitbarek presents a very professional & welcoming podcast for total newbies such as myself. Her closing questions for her fascinating guests yield gold and presents an overall insightful interview. I’m addicted! Kudos and thank you for your work, Saron!”

“I tracked Saron down after listening to the “Command Line Heroes” podcast. I enjoy “Code Newbies” even though I’m an old lady of tech I found value hearing younger women’s experiences.”

“Honest review:
Pros: Great topics from different tech careers and different prospectives
Cons: Fake, insincere sounding host; the guests often have (advanced) degrees/years of experience/ jobs which code newbies will never be able to obtain (at least not for a while); too many ads”

“I’ve been coding off and on since 2016 but was not getting anywhere. Kept giving up because I wasn’t learning what I needed to learn to grow. Because of this podcast and some good videos I’m finally starting to make really good progress. Like many new developers I thought I had to know everything...”Read full review »

“I’ve tried out quite a few coding podcasts, as a newbie. Most of them were either way over my head or not pinpointed enough on the topics interested in knowing more about.
Each episode on CodeNewbie focuses on one topic, sticks to the point, and actually speaks the language of a newbie.”

“Same complaint as many of the negative reviewers:
Pros: good guests, good content
Cons: too many ads mid-interview (too many, period) that distract from otherwise good content; there have been other interviews (from different guests) that have been sprinkled in the middle of interviews”

“I started my coding journey mid-September. About 2 weeks ago, I discovered this podcast. It has really made me feel like I can become a developer because it sounds like a lot of experience devs have also faced the same problems as me. As well as that, there are some really nice resources shared...”Read full review »

“This podcast covers a lot of really interesting topics and features a lot of really knowledgeable guests, but the hostess is pretty dry and uninteresting. She seems to go off of prepared questions in a formulaic way, which results in her coming across as lacking in personality.”

“Saron is an absolutely amazing host! The guests are incredible, diverse, and inclusive of all. The huge focus on POC, LGBTQ, and women, makes this podcast a light in a very narrow industry.
