Software Engineer

[Darren Finch @darrenfinch_]

There are software developers and there are software craftsmen.

Which one are you trying to become?

@TheCodingSloth1 if I ever get this interview question, I'm completely cooked.

[Darren Finch @darrenfinch_]

Your career is a marathon, not a sprint.

[Darren Finch @darrenfinch_]

@ThePrimeagen I’m confused

[Darren Finch @darrenfinch_]

@nixcraft i need to learn how to read geolocation data from photos

[Darren Finch @darrenfinch_]

@anthdm glad you are positive, this is my reaction

[Darren Finch @darrenfinch_]

Learning software engineering once you have a job is completely different from learning software engineering to get that job, and I'm not sure if I like it.

[Darren Finch @darrenfinch_]

@ThePrimeagen this is true

[Darren Finch @darrenfinch_]

Just passed my calculus 1 exam in order to get into WGU's Computer Science program! Super excited! https://t.co/n2x4wjhSKi

[Darren Finch @darrenfinch_]

@davideagostini I'll be sure to write a review for that!

[Darren Finch @darrenfinch_]

I did it.

I got the M1 MacBook Air.

AND I LOVE IT.

[Darren Finch @darrenfinch_]

@alexbourlotos Unless it's a necessity, I'd probably wait too. I honestly needed a laptop pretty bad so I went ahead and got it. But the new M1Xs sound like they'll be ridiculous.

[Darren Finch @darrenfinch_]

@PrasoonPratham I got the M1 MacBook 16gb and I couldn't be happier lol

[Darren Finch @darrenfinch_]

@PrasoonPratham I went ahead and got the M1 cuz my laptop is literally falling apart lol

[Darren Finch @darrenfinch_]

@PrasoonPratham I'm on the fence too bro, lemme know if you get one - I might pull the trigger.

[Darren Finch @darrenfinch_]

This is the graph of growth for my blog over the past year. I've got a long way to go, but this is a start.

For most of this timeline, I was working hard and not seeing results.

Life lesson; when you don't feel like you're making progress, that's when you're progressing.

Just got this epic Raspberry Pi 4 for my graduation ceremony!

Never messed with Raspbian or Linux, so I'm super excited to check this thing out!

@ICuvula Couldn't publish to Google play because I'm only 17

Solved another problem from the March coding challenge called "Average of Each Level" or something similar.

[Darren Finch @darrenfinch_]

@PrasoonPratham And congrats on 52k. Still growing even though you got "cancelled."

[Darren Finch @darrenfinch_]

@PrasoonPratham Pratham, you're the most driven guy my age that I know. You're doing incredible things. Don't let the haters get to you. Sorry I'm late to comment.
