#196 - Your First Day as a Software Developer: What to Expect and How to Not Suck
Episode description
Nearly a decade ago I started my first day as a developer.
The night before the first day, I was barely able to sleep.
Would I be found out as a fake developer and fired immediately?
Would they give me a task I couldn’t figure out?
How long before they realized they made an error in their hiring process?
Well, I never got “found out” and I took on more than a few tasks I couldn’t figure out… yet.
If you're learning to code or recently got hired - I lay out a plan to help you tackle your first day as a real deal developer, stand out and maybe even impress your teammates.
