Software Developer's Journey

#249 Claude Jones became the practical leadership guy

Claude placed the start of his journey in the early days of the internet, learning HTML for the sake of Beanie Babies. He then described how this triggered his curiosity and ignited a never-ending passion. We talked about his first job and how his coworkers helped him navigate his unknown unknowns. How communities and relationships helped him evolve and grow. We then jumped into management and how he first dipped his toes into it for the wrong reasons, became a leader, and finally got the position. We discussed the challenges that transitioning to another company as a leader brought. And we finally talked about embracing failure and realizing that the organization has your back.
