Software Developer's Journey

#175 Christina Holland tried to avoid software development by going into biotech and animation

Christina took us back to her early childhood when her parents tried to encourage embrace computer science. She told us about her deceptions failing to enter a med-school and had to introspect. She explained how she took a job, rediscovered programming, and rejected it again; going for animation instead. We spoke about Lord of the Ring and animating movies before coming to the point where Christina (finally) embraced software development. We talked about the front-end Bootcamp she did, the various interviews, and how she finally landed at Google. And we finished on a tech parenting note!
