I've been a software engineer since 2008 and with over a decade of experience, the industry is as crazy and as varied as ever.

I continually get asked for career advice and how to navigate writing code for a living and I wanted to share everything I've learned in hopes that I can help someone who is just starting in software engineering, who has been in it for a while and is too afraid to ask, or the seasoned vet to either agree or argue with me.

The intent of this channel is to have multiple series that include the following topics:
💰 Compensation
📈 Negotiations
📚 Career advice and guidance
📈 Stocks, RSUs, Stock options, and ESPP plans
👨‍🏫 Engineering interviews

I've done just about everything in software from working for 3 person start ups, 300 person start ups, silicon valley companies, Fortune 500 companies, small teams, big teams, W2 employment and 1099 contracting, full time contracting and moonlight part time work, independent development, launching my own web apps and iphone app.

I would have never thought to learn how code works by using this method, but I'm definitely going to try this!

Great video Cody and a nice challenge! The skill is indeed more in being able to read, understand and contribute to an existing codebase than from scratch.

I had to go through some tutorials to learn the basics in python (I picked a Udemy class from Colt Steel, which worked quite nicely for me). At the same time I had to learn everything about github, and took a couple of certifications in Data Science and ML. The ML one pushed me to use functions, and the class went though some nice theory as well, so it was not too bad. So I would not say that tutorials are useless when you really start from scratch like I did. Only after that was I able to start cloning repos and try to make the code work on my local, and eventually modify the code to do what I wanted. It's a process which took time, but allowed me to veer into more data engineering jobs.
But I must say that I like the idea to "shortcut" to the tutorial's repo and work reverse from there, not sure though for people who are brand new with coding and github? What's your experience with complete newbies following this method? Cheers 😊

You’ve made really great key points. I’ve built simple kotlin projects, and sometime I lose the passion to continue it. I love the clone aspect of projects. How can we reach out to you for mentoring?

Do you offer mentorship or anything adjacent to that?
