[Description] Sorry Guys Another Lost Episode, this one was originally posted ONLY on Primes Channel 13 June 2025. (For the curious, Lost episode means not posted everywhere) We’re taking a trip down memory lane to discuss the milestone every developer remembers: landing that very first job. Whether it was through a standard application, a side project gone right, or just being in the right place at the right time, we break down our individual paths into the industry. We dive into the realities of the early dev grind, the skills that actually mattered vs. what we thought mattered, and how the landscape has shifted since we started. If you’re currently looking for your first role or just love a good origin story, this one's for you. This was filmed in person at the Lighthouse in LA Insta: https://www.instagram.com/thelighthousecampus Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCrGU2Pew2z7wsDRhH49QODA X: https://x.com/thelighthouse Thanks to our sponsor, https://blacksmith.sh today!
