On this week's episode of the podcast, freeCodeCamp founder Quincy Larson interviews Kass Moreno, a Senior Front End Developer and CSS Artist.
Kass started learning coding at age 28 and has since built a reputation as one of the most skilled artists who work with CSS.
We talk about:
Her childhood in Mexico and in Texas
Making the hard decision to drop out of architecture school
Her dreadful years working as a salesperson
Learning from freeCodeCamp and doing the 100DaysOfCode challenge
Getting freelance clients and expanding her skills
Her rapid career growth as a developer
Can you guess what bass line I'm playing on my bass during the intro? It's a 1982 pop classic.
