Listen here:
In this insightful conversation with software developer, PDM-er, and entrepreneur Charles Carriere, we delve into his journey of launching personal projects, overcoming imposter syndrome, and mastering Python.
He shares his experience of creating a Django app in our PDM program around fusion energy, aggregating and summarizing (using AI!) articles, and his future plan of creating a job board on the site as well. Super cool!
He emphasizes the importance of launching projects, big or small, to truly understand what you’re doing and to learn from each challenge.
He also discusses his experience with ChatGPT and how it has proved to be a beneficial tool in his coding process.
Finally, the conversation also covers the significance of working with a coach for accountability and key insights. It provided Charles with crucial guidance, focus, and structure to bring his project to completion and properly develop software.
Last but not least we talk about the invaluable mindset side of things.
We hope you enjoy this rich conversation with Charles.
