Just figuring it out as I go.

[Siya @__itsmesiya]

one skill outside of coding that made you a better engineer

go

[Siya @__itsmesiya]

how long did it take you to go from learning to getting paid

months or years

[Siya @__itsmesiya]

does anyone actually read the docs first

or do we all google the error and pretend

what would you do differently on day 1

[Siya @__itsmesiya]

how are we holding up 😅

[Siya @__itsmesiya]

genuinely torn on this one

what did you do in your first year that actually mattered looking back

no judgement here

[Siya @__itsmesiya]

music while coding or silence

and if music, what is playing right now

[Siya @__itsmesiya]

biggest myth about becoming a software engineer

i will go first

that you need to be good at maths

[Siya @__itsmesiya]

how do you pick what to learn next
