The Friedman Times
Florida Man Moves To San Francisco
Begins New Journey; Discovers JavaScript
Sometimes your life just changes. One day you're on the business path of Accounting and Project Management, and then BOOM - a career change happens! Well, this happened to a young front-end developer who fell into the world of tech by chance... and never looked back.
The developer, whose work includes a COVID-19 Tracker, clarified, "Well, I didn't mean to get into web development, it just sort of happened". The company I was working for, he said, needed their website redone and I was curious about what that process would look like. After taking a month to learn the ins and outs of HTML/CSS, the developer moved onto learning JavaScript.
"I don't know, it just sort of came to me. I understood it." he told Google during one of his onsite interviews. Google, whose corporate mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful, declined to comment.
