Most of the amazing developers I work with today never imagined they’d become professional programmers — especially not at such a young age.
Yet here they are, building real products, growing every day, and feeling proud of what they’ve accomplished.
Hi, my name is Dalibor Jaroš.
I co-own several successful software companies across Europe, and I help lead two dev teams working for clients in Vancouver, Canada.
The colleagues I work with — developers I deeply trust — didn’t come from elite universities or fancy backgrounds.
A few years ago, most of them had never written a serious line of code.
They just had the right mindset, the drive to improve, and the courage to try.
Some of them started from complete zero.
Excel spreadsheets. Minecraft mods. HTML pasted into WordPress.
