Forming new habits with 100 Days of Code

This week we sit down with Alex Kallaway, creator of 100 Days of Code. A self-taught programmer, Alex was working full time a few years back, but feeling frustrated that he wasn't using or learning modern web languages like Javascript or React. He kept promising himself he would learn on his off-time, but failing to follow through. Finally, he came up with a system to hold himself accountable. That idea, a public promise under the hashtag #100DaysOfCode, has become a movement and a community, with thousands of other coders joining in to pledge their commitment to self-directed learning.
