PlebDev talk with BTCRetriever

Car sat down with BTCRetriever, who changed careers from the structured world of mortgages to the dynamic realm of bitcoin development. Inspired by everything from 'Fight Club' to the local Austin bitcoin scene, his path was not entirely clear. We touch on his experiences at UT Austin, the rollercoaster of coding boot camps, surviving the bear market, and his deep dive into frontend development using React.Topics discussed:livin plebfight clubmortgagesplebdevbear marketnostrnostr bitcoin stackutxo egineeringmortgage industryut austinabcfight clubworkshopsaustincoding bootcampfrontend developmentreactalpaca rmsplebspacebuildersbase58bitcoin scriptpythondesignpleblabentrepreneurship kc cattle9 to 5Follow BTCRetriever on TwitterZap BTCRetriever on NostrZap Car on NostrFollow Thriller Bitcoin on TwitterRead more Thriller BitcoinSubscribe to Thriller podFollow Thriller Bitcoin on YouTube & BitcoinTVAdvertise with Thriller
