Hi again! :)
I just finished my first 3 weeks as a Software Engineer. Woohoo! Here is my experience so far in 10 quotes and emojis! 👩💻
1 👩💻🤩 "I'm so excited, I can't sleep!. 😴Hey, get to sleep already! You need to be fresh for tomorrow!" 👩💻🤩 "Awwww....but I'm too excited!"
2 💃"Oooo....how does a Microsoft Surface Pro even work? What's this flappy thing at the back?"
3 "Hello Microsoft Windows, haven't used you in a while!...Windows Update!!! 😂"
4 "🤓 C# is so cool!!!! I finally get to use a static programming language!"
*Goes to build solution = ERROR ; expected
AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! 👿
5 "Let's get this code out! Deployment, what can possibly go wrong with the build and deployment pipeline? 🚀"
Deployment fails....arghhhhhh!!!!! 😡
Goes into ultra mode to fix issue 💪
Deployment passed - yipppeeee!!! 😎
6 "It works, it actually works!!! Oh yeah!! Ice cream time!" 🍦🙌🏼😃
7 "I can figure this out....I can figure this out...should I ask for help? 🤔Nah, I can figure this out...I can figure this out....oh man....I NEEEDDD HELP!!! SOMEONE HELP!!"
8 "How have I not used Visual Studio IDE before? It's A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!" 💻
9 "Am I meant to be here? I don't have a clue what's going on. Damn...I'm actually writing code!" 🎊
10 "Wow, I've learnt so much! How did all of this happen?" 😊
Final Thoughts
As you can see, a lot of ups and downs, but I'm absolutely loving it! :)
Byeeeeeeee,
Kim

"...8 "How have I not used Visual Studio IDE before? It's A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!" 💻..."
'cause it use to be a steaming pile. :D
Thanks David :) lots of learn and always learning.

Congrats on the new role! I can totally relate to number 9. I’ve been writing code for a while now and I still have days where I think “I don’t have a clue what’s going on”. On others days though, it’s just the opposite and i’m an unstoppable code ninja and everything compiles first time. Just keep your enthusiasm and you’ll do great!
Thanks Grant - I had one of those days today where everything just came into place with the unit and integration tests :) Totally worth it though :)
It's so inspiring to witness the excitement of creating something 😃
Something that works, that is 🤣
Thank you - Glad my excitement came across :)
good for you! congratulations 🎉
Thanks Rene :)
The first week of many to come. Looks like you'll do well.
Thank you :) Lots of weeks to come! :) Hopefully, I'll keep staying excited throughout. I'll have to come back to this to remind myself :)
10. "Well, Alohomora!" - Harry Potter.Well said :P I should do a movie quotes one next time!
Ey! A fellow Makers Academy Fellow!! :)
I take it your first job is going well?
Yes it is :) I’m learning a lot and getting stuck in :)
Glad to see another C# lover. Maybe can we see a post on what you like more (or you discover) about VS, C#, and .Net?
Hey Oscar :) Great suggestion! Would be a pleasure to do more technical posts next time
Smashing it! 🐸 🦄
