We talk with Laurence Bradford of Learn to Code with Me about how she got started in tech without any background in the field whatsoever. The OG 'self-taught techie', she went on to work for some major players like Teachable and also started her own platform and podcast to help people wanting to do the same. You will hear about resources, pricing options when you first start out, practical ways to position yourself in a tech role right where you are, and how to research what skills you need for your dream role.
