Realistic advice about software dev right now

Bro apologised for his question twice within the question 😭

Step 1 to learning to be a dev: Create your learning roadmap in obsidian Step 2: ??? Step 3: hired!

The best advice that rarely gets mentioned in these conversations is to learn a domain other than software engineering and how software solutions can be applied to it.

the biggest thing that helped me to land a job was using obsidian

I started as a highschool student 2 years ago watching theo to a software engineer and a codex ambassador now. The answer is build stuff and find pain. If it hurts, u r learning. Find the craziest most difficult stuff to build and try to build it.

Theo not being pissed at random stuff can bring out the most refreshing personality you'd want to listen to for hours

Been a while since last advice vid

One more thing I wanted to add is learn to talk. 50% of the work in corporate is just talking and knowing how to talk. Sadly i don't have that skill and realizing it now so changing my direction.

"I'd rather explain memory leaks to my mother" is now my favorite phrase

49:16 Imagine being so insanely cool and smart that Theo spots you and getting a “Yep, hired.” In ONE day at a coffee shop. The amount of excellence is actually unreal 😭👏
