What We Learned About Leveling Up from Alice Goldfuss: CodeNewbie Podcast

Alice Goldfuss came onto our podcast yesterday and talked to us about her prior experience advancing in her career and how she builds resilient distributed systems at scale.

Find the full episode here:

SO, (as always) we listened to it and compiled some different things we learned about advancing your career in tech that Alice shared with us.

  1. There are communities that can help you learn and explain things that may be confusing to you— you are not alone in your coding journey.

  2. There is no shame in taking a job that will give you money.

  3. Asking for harder challenges at work is an easy way to level up your skills.

  4. Look for other forms of happiness outside just your job so that your life is defined by more than your work.

If you listened— what did you learn? Do you have any tips on leveling up?
