Two inspiring stories - one about iOS guy who didn't want to be a software developer in the first place, then he started his adventure with PHP to move on finally to work with Swift 1.0 and began his iOS career. The turning point for him was the episode of being a team manager after which he decided to come back to pure programming path.

And the second story is about a man who was hired as a mobile developer in his first job but he never got to be one. Later he was to build apps for Windows Phone (but never did), worked with Java, Scala and Bluetooth technology to finally find himself as a Kotlin developer in a tech lead's role. The journey still continues!
