“CodeNewbie motivates me to keep pushing and learning even when coding challenges seem insurmountable. There’s a great mix of practical knowledge and interesting stories so it’s both helpful and entertaining. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention one of my favorite parts about CodeNewbie… being new to coding, I’ve turned to the internet multiple times to look for accessible resources for whatever it is I was working on. There’s a wealth of knowledge out there, but I’ve noticed it’s largely published by men. Saron Yitbarek has created something that lets me see myself in something that I’ve largely felt on the outside of for a long time.
CodeNewbie also brings on other guests who help break preconceived ideas of who belongs in coding and who doesn’t. Vaidehi Joshi (S1:EP3 – How to teach yourself computer science) came on and talked about teaching herself computer science, stating one of the reasons she did was to empower others who may not feel that they “belong” in the world of CS to get out there and start learning, leading by example.
It’s great to feel that there’s a community of women out there paving the way for other women to jump into the coding world and I feel so lucky to have CodeNewbie available. Thank you Saron Yitbarek for your incredible podcast and the work you do!”
