We started the DevReady podcast to help non-tech people building tech. We’ve heard so many similar stories that we thought it would be best to share them with everyone. We want to share the learnings and insights from every founder and start-up we talk too. It can be a bit overwhelming when you’re trying to build tech but come from a non-tech background. We hope this will help some people on their journey and allow them to build the next big thing.
