Physicist 🪐 and Management Consultant 👨🏻‍💼 turned dev 🚀

[Alex Imre @Alexandre_Imre]

Hi, I'm Alex.👋

I'm a physics graduate who has built a successful career in Management Consulting. But it wasn't for me.

After 7 years, I've finally found the courage to make some changes.

Read on for more about my story.🧵

[Alex Imre @Alexandre_Imre]

@danielcranney Yes but only after trying everything else first 😂

@ThePrimeagen What would Tom think of this

[Alex Imre @Alexandre_Imre]

@addycodes It’s tough out there! Cold applying for jobs is really inefficient (but still needs to be done)

2 things I found that helped me:

Reaching out to people on LinkedIn and engineering referrals

Building a network of recruiters that can look for roles for you!

Good luck!

[Alex Imre @Alexandre_Imre]

@catalinmpit I’m early in my tech career and personally I’d rather be in the office close to my senior devs and mentors as much as possible! I have so much to learn and so many relationships to build. It’s just not the same over zoom!

[Alex Imre @Alexandre_Imre]

@Yazdun Know any good typescript books?

[Pop Punk @PopPunkOnChain]

i told you pop punk merch doesn’t miss.

like and retweet if you want me to ship you a hat.

[Alex Imre @Alexandre_Imre]

@catalinmpit I think walking through some code / a project you have built is probably the best proxy for what your level of skill is! Maybe a pair programming session on top of that to make small improvements you were planning on making next anyway!

[Alex Imre @Alexandre_Imre]

@LauraSrzic nice, I got out of bed today

[Alex Imre @Alexandre_Imre]

@florinpop17 The one that sounds best is the one that most accurately reflects what you do! CEO if appointed by a board of directors to run a company, or founder if you founded… easy!

@PopPunkOnChain @pashov does the sun ever set on the milady empire?

[Alex Imre @Alexandre_Imre]

@scrumtuous Might buy it and sell it for 250

[Alex Imre @Alexandre_Imre]

@scrumtuous Is this swipe file yours? Genius marketing 😂

[Alex Imre @Alexandre_Imre]

recursion hurts my brain

[Alex Imre @Alexandre_Imre]

#GitHub #Copilot is so good I have to turn it off when learning new concepts otherwise it just figures it out for me before I've had time to think!

[Alex Imre @Alexandre_Imre]

@EwaNikodem I'm reading it! It's better if you get a friend to read it with and talk about what you found interesting! ... It's in Java though which is less fun

[Alex Imre @Alexandre_Imre]

@solosaasdiary gpt-3.5 lol

[Alex Imre @Alexandre_Imre]

@RamblingAdam auto format on save is so good too 💪

[Alex Imre @Alexandre_Imre]

Now that I can code and actually build things, better learn some data structures and algorithms so that I can prove I can actually code and build things 🤣 #techWHY

[Alex Imre @Alexandre_Imre]

@elonmusk @PopPunkOnChain how have you convinced Elon to pump your bags

[Alex Imre @Alexandre_Imre]

Listen to this man

[Pop Punk @PopPunkOnChain]

I have always been against paid courses in this space.

There is an endless faucet of free information in web3, created by some of the smartest minds in the industry.

Let's talk about why you shouldn't pay for courses, and how you can learn Solidity/Web3 entirely for free.
