From a Different Career to Coding: A Meaningful Shift into Development

The second episode of our company podcast, Dactyl Coffee++, brings an inspiring story of our colleague Jaromír Václavíček, who entered the world of app development as a career switch. Today, he’s responsible for key parts of projects for major clients - a great example that starting from scratch can truly pay off.

From a career change to a full-fledged developer role

Jaromír’s journey into development wasn’t instant, but it had a clear goal – to become a full-fledged developer.
In the podcast, he shares what surprised him most at the beginning, where he found motivation, and why having the right environment and a supportive team makes all the difference.

We also touched on other interesting topics:

• Why it makes sense to get into app development,
• how challenging the beginning can be,
• what separates a good developer from a true professional,
• and what the pros and cons of working from home as a developer are.

Just like a good cup of coffee – this episode delivers quality content with real added value.

You can also listen to the podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
