#206 - You Asked, We Answered: No BS Advice for Thriving as a Developer in 2025

Develop Yourself

Alex Lau has nearly 2 decades in software and even wrote a book to help developers avoid the pitfalls that nearly derailed his career.
What I like about Alex is that he keeps it real. We answered questions from you in this episode with no BS.
- Mass applying vs networking vs building in public
- How to negotiate your salary and what hiring managers don't tell you
- What to do about that nagging voice in your head that tells you you're not good enough
