The Self Taught Developer

It's a term we hear more often these days - "I'm self taught!". What seemed like a rarity years ago has been increasingly more common in our industry, so today we sat down with our engineer on staff who taught himself programming (one of 11 at Buffer!) - Hamish Macpherson!

Hamish is a senior engineer who works primarily on the front-end of Buffer. In this episode, we cover:

His journey to learning programming
How early jobs and projects helped him level up quickly
Resources and communities to learn from
Dealing with an initial rejection from Buffer when applying the first time, and how he took feedback in and improved to land the job the second time
...and more!

We hope you enjoy this episode of Overflow! Feel free to reach us online to chat about today's episode anytime:
