    Want to know what it takes to land that first job out of coding bootcamp? In fact, what’s the difference between bootcamp and a traditional degree, anyway? In this episode, Lindsey and Susan sit down with Paige Niedringhaus, a software developer who’s learned a thing or two about finding success in tech. The ladies discuss why Paige’s career took a sharp left, how she landed her first job despite the odds, and why the future of women in tech is brighter than ever.“The true way to know if you’ve learned something is to try to write about it or teach it to someone else.”

He has read hundreds of books that have taught him the secrets to getting more done by getting into this state. He starts by telling us how he was passed over for a promotion at Qualcomm in favor of someone younger and less experienced and how that inspired him to figure out what the other guy was doing differently. He learned that he needed to get more done with the time he was spending on his projects. The trick? Deep Work! Deep Work is the ability to spend uninterrupted, focused time on a task to bend your entire mind toward the goal. Other developers call it "Flow" or "the Zone."
