Origin Stories #25 - Kim Arnett - iOS Dev @ Expedia

In this episode of Origin Stories I speak with Kim Arnett, iOS developer at Expedia. We get to hear how Kim got her start as well as some insights on changing jobs roughly every two years and how that's pretty common in the tech space. What's especially interesting about Kim is that she is the host of her local meetup and we have a great discussion on the pros and cons of starting your own meetup when the current meetups you want aren't up to par, or flat out don't exist. I hope you enjoy!

Origin Stories is a series of interviews with iOS developers from the community where we discuss how they got their start in this industry. We discuss how they first became interested in code, what resources they used to learn, how they got their first job and much more.
