#150 To code is to struggle! I interview Tech with Tim, who got a job at Microsoft at age 19

#150 To code is to struggle! I interview Tech with Tim, who got a job at Microsoft at age 19

On this week's episode of the podcast, freeCodeCamp founder Quincy Larson interviews Tim Ruscica, the software engineer and prolific programming teacher behind the Tech with Tim YouTube channel. He's also developed courses on freeCodeCamp's YouTube channel.

We talk about:
- How Tim managed to get a $70k salary by hacking his way into a Microsoft internship when he was just 19
- How he learned computer architecture as a kid by playing Minecraft
- Lessons he learned from a failed tech startup
- Why he recommends Python as a first programming language. "It's the least overwhelming thing to get your hands dirty."

Can you guess what song I'm playing in the intro?

Also, I want to thank the 11,133 kind people who support our charity each month, and who make this podcast possible. You can join them and support our mission at: https://www.freecodecamp.org/donate
