Ls and Ws – Practice Makes Progress with Iheanyi Ekechukwu

Relicans host Danny Ramos talks to Senior Software Engineer at PlanetScale, Iheanyi Ekechukwu about how when breaking into tech and starting the interview process, everybody takes Ls over Ws at first, and that having a way to set yourself apart from other candidates is always good. 

Additionally, he talks about learning and creativity and even about his own failure in trying to learn music, but that he also doesn’t necessarily consider it failure.  He recommends keeping a log of your progress, so when you get frustrated with yourself, you can go back to early moments to see how you've grown.
