They can. Of course they can. But many don't know it, and haven't ever thought about it as a career option. Which is a shame, because as we all know, there's a lot of software to write and not enough people to write it.
In this week's episode of the Cloud Unfiltered podcast we sit down with Bekah Hawrot Weigel to ask her why the heck she left an established career as a college English professor to start again from scratch coding. We also ask her where she's learning, how the developer community has received her, how she's found mentors, and which languages she likes best so far.
I guarantee it's an interesting story, and inspiring for anyone that is trying to figure out what they want to do with their life. If you know someone who needs some inspiration (male or female), tell them to check out our discussion on iTunes, SoundCloud, or whatever podcasting app happens to be their favorite!
