Episode description

"Maybe Javascript just isn't for me..."

Let's talk mental models and Javascript.

A good mental model is a way to "latch" onto a foreign concept by relating it to something you understand.

I speak with Kylo Robinson, an accomplished Javascript developer who nearly quit learning to code when he came across JS.

Since then, he's created a truly unique way to visualize Javascript concepts with mental models to cover everything from scope, closures, variables, functions and other major JS concepts.

Check out his incredible learning platform The Great Sync 🧞
