I want to share TJ's story with self-taught developers out there who are currently struggling to become professional developers. He was resourceful and CREATED coding opportunities within his current company to get the experience he needed to break into the industry. I loved his story, and thought this was a really creative way to get that experience while he was still learning. I hope this helps!
