Technology and domain have been the two key drivers of my career evolution. I have progressed from mainframe development to AI/ML and cloud computing, exploring new possibilities and solutions. I have also applied my skills and knowledge in various domains, such as market research, grocery distribution, and retail supply chain, and enriched my perspective.
Do you have advise for a beginner like me who is yet to write meaningful software?
1) Read code written by other developers and learn from their style, techniques, and best practices. Find code examples online, in books, or in open source projects. Ask for feedback or advice from more experienced coders on online forums, communities, or platforms.
2) Apply logic, creativity, and problem-solving skills to code. Don’t get stuck on the details, but focus on the big picture and the goal. If you are stuck debugging an issue with the error message carefully and try to understand what it means. Use online resources, such as Stack Overflow, to search for solutions or explanations for common errors.
3) Practice coding by finding and solving problems with code. Use online resources and tools to learn the basics of a programming language and make coding easier .Review what you learned and fill in any gaps. Use online quizzes, exercises, or projects to test and reinforce your learning.
The key is having fun while programming, have a positive attitude and a curious mind. Experiment, explore, and learn new things. Learn from your mistakes, failures, or setbacks and move on. Focus on your own progress and goals.
About the
These days when I get an error, I usually put the code into chatGPT. It usually fixes it, I find this more efficient than stackoverflow and googling the problem.
I do read the problem and why the solution works too ( well, most of the time)
Do you think this is a good habit? are is this harmful in the long run ?
Well when I first started studying for AWS certs I treated it like all the other certs I've taken. Little did I know there's more. Now, I'm starting to see things about the cloud in a different light. Still puzzled about a few things but I'm sure as I continue to study those things will clear up. If not...I'm asking questions.
I think, trying to get my foot in the door and then to establish myself, I was very focused on clever solutions. I wanted to be able to do a lot of work behind the scenes to make the software feel "like magic."
My mantra now is to keep it simple and keep it clear. People don't want magic, they want so.ething they can understand and control.
