I had an absolute blast talking with Cassidy. I've enjoyed so many of her short videos over the years. It was a dream come true to finally talk with her and learn more about her journey into tech and her long ascent to CTO.

Many people don’t know her but she is really famous in tech as for me I remember she being editor writing newsletter for stackoverflow that comes every week

Do you have an advice for who graduated in the middle of pandemic and did not have a chance of having an internship and struggles to be accepted even for entry level position because of lack working experience as developer?

Consider getting your own work experience by creating personal projects or web apps for people you know.

You are literally from the US. I will never get how US people struggle so much to get jobs in the land of opportunities. If you don't have it, you're not trying.

You ask questions like an interview but then would reference self rather than to let the interviewee speak their mind. And the recategorization of words into your own wasn't conducive to conversation. I do like the subject matter just not the delivery "I like typing" NO PRESSURE I LOVED IT just my criticism bc I am aware of my own behaviors, good job

I'm currently developing a Flask web app and would greatly appreciate your assistance in deploying it. Could you host the app and share the deployment link? Your support would mean a lot to me. Thanks in advance for considering
