An interview with Matthew Sanabria about his path through (and continued life in) the tech industry. Matthew and I met working at Hashicorp when it was a much smaller company than it is today. In this episode, we spend a lot of time discussing things we've learned and things we wish someone had told us when we got started in System Administration and Software Development.
