Underrated way to rapidly grow your skills as a software engineer.👇Be around other smart engineers who are still willing to help you level up.You are the average of the 5 closest people you spend time with. That’s usually quoted as a negative,but you can totally use it to your advantage. Personally I’ve grown so much by working with other brilliant engineers over the last 4-5 yrs.Here are some ways you can grow with others:– Pair/Mob Programming– Connect with folks on Linkedin– Find + Join a company with smart + growing engineers– Join a side-projects group and share what you are working on– Make friends at meetups/conferences Speaking of conferences, Plato is putting on a no BS conference for engineers / engineering leaders…They’ve actually given me 5 free tickets to give away to their conference in San Francisco. 🙋♀️🙋♂️If you are free Nov. 7-8th, this is an awesome opportunity.You’ll get to rub shoulders with leaders at companies like Slack, Amazon, Netflix, Reddit, and Notion – and hear how they build software and solve hard engineering problems.You won’t want to miss this.Oh, and also my friend Irina – the Caring Techie – is speaking at the conference. I had a last minute schedule conflict, so won’t be able to attend myself.But I still want to help 5 of y’all be able to go for free!And share a discount code with anyone else who needs one.If you need a ticket or are interested,Comment below for a chance to win, or get a discount code. 🙋♀️🙋♂️𝘗.𝘚. 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘚𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵.

Life as a Software Engineer...!!Step 1: Wake up to the gentle glow of your computer screen, because who needs sunlight when you have code to write?Step 2: Dive into a never-ending sea of bug reports and merge conflicts. Because, let's be real, debugging is our cardio.Step 3: Attend meetings that could have been emails, where everyone speaks in acronyms that no mortal understands. Step 4: Get praised for writing elegant code that works flawlessly, only to find out it breaks everything else in the system. Oops, did I just create a black hole?Step 5: Spend hours on Stack Overflow trying to decipher cryptic error messages, because let's face it, Google knows more than we ever will.Step 6: Celebrate the small victories, like finally getting that piece of code to compile without crashing the universe. Time for a victory dance (or a nap).Step 7: Rinse and repeat.Follow Rhythm Anand for such contents.

One thing that i have picked up in my journey as a software engineer working as part of a team is to give people the chance to arrive at a conclusion by themselves instead of trying to coax/force or push them into doing so or see things your way. Instead of arguing with them repeatedly and insistently on why they chose to do things that way and not the way you suggesting. Instead of going back-and-forth on the PR comment section trying to prove your point (which makes you unintentionally come off as a know-it-all) by describing tacit knowledge that only you seems to know about and support.Instead of all that, simply provide unmistakable evidence. There are 2 ways to do this:1. Share an article or blog post by a senior and much well known + revered figure in the software engineering community and use that to show that you actually know what you are talking about. It helps if these articles come with code snippets and example that explain the point you are trying to pass across. Finally, offer to answer any questions or confusion they might have with the article or blog post. You can also look for other teammates to back you up too.2. Give them the opportunity to try out their ideas in the codebase and genuinely support them in doing so. This shows that you care about their thoughts and what they have to offer. Nothing opens people like making them feel that they matter and meaning it too. Yes, it may take time and. the codebase may (or may not - which means they were right) be messed up temporarily but in the end they are able to see things you way. Next time you bring something up, they are more inclined to listen to you even if you provide little evidence.Cheers 🥂

Forget Silicon Valley garages – my software development origin story starts with… the YMCA welcome desk.There's something undeniably fascinating about the paths that lead us to the world of software development.My journey starts as a new college Computer Science graduate behind the front desk at the local YMCA. Taking summer camp sign ups and checking out basketballs was a far cry from the world of object oriented programming. But then, a developer role with a salary that dwarfed my ramen noodle budget popped up. Fueled by fresh-faced optimism (and maybe a touch of naiveté), I embarked on a 455-mile adventure to a new state and a supposedly brighter future.Fast forward six months. Turns out, family drama can disrupt a family business faster than a buggy code release. The company imploded, leaving me jobless and staring down a new apartment lease in an unfamiliar city. Now what?That crazy turn of events (or maybe it was just spectacular timing in disguise) propelled me onto this incredible path in software development. A path I now share with amazing people like you – folks who want to build fulfilling careers in tech, crafting software that makes a difference.Your turn! Share your origin story in the comments below.😎 What did you do before diving into the world of code?😎 Did you take a giant leap like mine, or was your transition smoother?😎 What unexpected skill from your past surprisingly translates to coding?🏅 Bonus points for the most unique pre-dev gig!

You want an easy hack to advancing in your career faster?Set higher goals. If you set yourself the big goal of landing your first job as a software developer, then that role holds a lot of significance. As a result, you'll need a lot more confidence to feel ready for that role. By contrast, if you set the goal of becoming a CTO some day, landing your first role as a software developer isn't that big a deal. It is just one step in your journey to become a CTO. You might feel unsure if you'll ever become a CTO. But by contrast, the ideal of landing a junior dev role feels absolutely attainable.-Posted by OneUp

I’ve only been in software development less than 2 years, but here’s a few things I’ve learned:1. You can have the brightest mind and school all your classmates at MIT, but the ability to communicate well and make the people around you better is just (if not more) important. 2. Leave things better than you found it. Pick up after yourself! Triple check your diff before PRs. Someone has to take time out of their day to review your code, make it easy for them. 3. Make every day count! Challenge yourself to learn something new every single day. Even if you don’t feel as if you have the capacity to comprehend a new idea, just Google “10 interesting software development facts.” Get 1% better every day. Here’s how many days I’ve been going, can’t wait to see what’s in store at 1,000 📈

DALLAS!!! THE COHORT SIGNUPS ARE LIVE!The Dallas Software Developers Cohort pairs developers on a team where they will work on a project for roughly 6 weeks being guided by a professional software developer. ONE IMPORTANT POINT! While the cohort is mostly remote, we are a LOCAL meetup group for the Dallas area, Local members wanting to be students will be given priority before we extend the reach outside of the local community.For those who may not be aware, our cohorts are 100% free and volunteer-run. This is a VERY hands-on process and takes a ton of work but we love doing it! This isn't a scalable process so the number of accepted students is pretty limited. Really depends upon the number of leads that we have. The more leads that volunteer, the more team members we can bring in.If you want to sign up you can here. We will soon be announcing the leads and students that will be part of this. https://lnkd.in/dnpTPHYz

To learn about growing as a software engineer -- beyond what you learned in school and on the job -- check out the just-published The Software Engineer's Guidebook by Gergely Orosz. All the more so if you prefer to stay in IC roles and not get into management. The book fills an important gap in our industry.
