Sloan the DEV ModeratorHey there!
Yesterday on our podcast, we learned about the tools and resources Madison Kanna used to transition from a modeling career to becoming a successful developer.
Madison Kanna started her coding journey in 2017 after deciding to shift away from her modeling career. In one year, she made the full transition and is now a Senior Software Engineer in Health and Wellness at Walmart! Outside of her role, you can find her blogging about what she's learning, or leading the CodeBookClub, a virtual community she started back in 2020.

We pulled some of our favorite tips that Madison shared below!
- Learning how to code is largely about learning how to focus.
- You have nothing to lose by being generous with others.
- Work the problem. When you're getting upset over something happening, work through the problem. Get in there, try to figure out the problem, and then keep going.
- Remove the dream killers from your life! Having people who truly believe in your abilities can make a world of difference.
