ElixirMix 140 - How to Become a Top End Developer
Charles Max Wood takes the lead this week. He and Adi Iyengar discuss what Top End Devs are and what people should be doing to become Top End Devs.
They start out discussing the default trajectory of a developer’s career and then talk about how to get boosts off that line and into higher levels of achievement and fulfillment.
