Episode Summary

"With coding. You have an input and you have an output and like all the stuff in between is kind of artistic."

"In the boot camp you were going through HTML, CSS jQuery, React all the way up through building the whole stack. In three months."

"Try some free resources. Try code academy. Try free code camp. See if you like it. If you can afford it, take a boot camp prep class, see if you like it. And if you do those things and you're like, 'Wow, I really enjoyed this', you can totally do it for a living."

"I feel like if I wanted to, I could go a lot of different places and thats something I just never had with theater, which is really nice. Also, I now have this skill set that opens a lot of doors for different things that I want to do, whether that's trying to teach other people things or making an app that might make me money or doing the twitch streaming."
