Hurry Up, but Slowly: How Ansub Knew When To Go Back to Basics and Relearn Web Development From Scratch

<p><strong>🎙 About the episode</strong></p><p><br><strong>Meet Ansub Khan 🇮🇳!</strong> Ansub has always been drawn to front-end development, but he took a couple of detours: he studied computer science and tried to learn C, C++, Java, and Python. In the end, he got a job by creating a website for a self-sustaining AI, while chatting to his now CEO about robots and quantum mechanics. </p><p>In this episode, you'll learn how to know when to go back to the basics of what you're learning, why rushing to get a job isn't always a good idea, and how a sprinkle of stoic philosophy can help you on your journey. Ansub shares details of his pretty unconventional job interview, as well as his approach to figuring out which jobs to apply to. He also talks about all of his failed job applications and what he learned from them.</p><p><strong>🔗 Connect with Ansub</strong></p><ul> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ansub/">👨🏻‍💼 LinkedIn</a></li> <li><a href="https://ansubkhan.com">🌐 Website</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/ansub">👩‍🚀 GitHub</a></li> <li>🐦 <a href="https://twitter.com/justansub">Twitter</a> </li> </ul><p><b><strong>🧰 Resources mentioned</strong></b></p><ul> <li>Scrimba's <a href="https://scrimba.com/learn/frontend">Front End Career Path</a> </li> <li><a href="https://scrimba.com/learn/learnreact">Bob's React course (FREE!)</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.mayalabs.io">Maya Labs</a></li> </ul><p><strong>⭐️ Leave a Review</strong></p><p><br>If you enjoy this episode please <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-scrimba-podcast/id1537632252"><em>leave a 5 star review here</em></a> and let us know who you want to see on the next podcast.</p><p><br>You can also Tweet Alex from Scrimba at <a href="https://twitter.com/bookercodes">@bookercodes</a> and tell them what lessons you learned from the episode so they can thank you personally for tuning in 🙏</p>
