Permissonless Learning

Hey folks! This weekend I'm bringing Jason Bosco on my podcast, who who went from Chennai to San Francisco because of his skills and eventually bootstrapped TypeSense, and open-source competitor to Algolia, Elasticsearch, (maybe Google?)

He did this while working a full-time job, and there are a lot of things that people can learn from his open-source journey.

Hey all! Last month we had an interesting and enlightening call with Shadab, who is presently a Full-stack developer working in React, who previously has worked for 2 years in the R&D department of a Multi-National Corp as a Blockchain Research Analyst. 

The crux of this discussion was Shadab's opinion that beginners shouldn't focus on blockchain while starting to learn programming.

P.S. There are a lot of editing glitches in the audio, because not everyone has the same mic and so there are audio level differences. There's also some audio overlap because I had to record myself from a different source. I spent 6 hours editing this so I hope I did a good enough job  🙏
