About this podcast

In this insightful episode, Thomas Dohmke, CEO of GitHub, challenges the notion of 'Don't Learn to Code,' advocating strongly for coding as a fundamental skill akin to literacy and mathematics. Drawing from his own journey, Thomas shares his early fascination with technology in East Berlin, his career transition from the automotive industry to mobile app development, and the entrepreneurial spirit behind co-founding Hockey App, which was later acquired by Microsoft. He discusses the evolution of software, its omnipresence in daily life, and how his passion and understanding of development continue to shape his leadership at GitHub, overseeing a vast team of engineers and serving the global developer community.
