Story: From Prison To Programming
Manage episode 339931199 series 2661799
I believe that getting underrepresented groups into software development is a good thing. This is not a controversial opinion until you start talking about felons.
Today's guest is Rick Wolter. He's an iOS developer who served 18 years in prison for second degree murder. Rick killed somebody and for some that's all they need to know about Rick. But today's episode is about Rick's path to redemption him, teaching himself to code in prison, smuggling in a Python interpreter, and then getting out and trying to get a job as a dev when you're a felon.
