Brooklin Myers is the host of the Elixir Newbie podcast and is currently building Dockyard Academy, a bootcamp for new Elixir devs. It's in beta, and the materials are online and open source. It's an ambitious project and one I had to learn more about after an Alchemist Camp subscriber told me about it!

We also talk a bit about learning strategies, what dev interviews are like these days and overcoming the fear of publishing code (or anything) as a beginner.
