The freeCodeCamp Podcast

Quincy Larson, the founder of freeCodeCamp.org, sits down each week with developers, founders, and ambitious builders in tech for long-form conversations that regularly stretch past the hour mark. These aren't surface-level chats. Quincy has a knack for getting people to open up about their actual career paths, including the messy parts, the failures, and the lucky breaks that got them where they are. The guest list spans a wide range -- you'll hear from self-taught developers who switched careers in their 30s, open source maintainers juggling side projects with day jobs, and engineering leaders at major companies talking about how their teams actually work. Episodes touch on AI tooling and its real impact on day-to-day development, frontend and backend practices, and the broader question of how the tech industry is shifting. With nearly 500 ratings and a 4.9-star average, the show has built a loyal audience, especially among people who are early in their programming journey or considering a career change into tech. But it's not just for beginners. The conversations go deep enough that experienced engineers pick up useful perspectives too. Quincy's interviewing style is relaxed and curious -- he asks follow-up questions that actually matter instead of sticking to a script. If you want honest stories from people building real things in software, this is a solid weekly listen.
