https://lnkd.in/dUVDDnhv High quality conversation! Massive respect to both parties trying to discuss the issue, without getting irritated or getting personal. There are many things we can learn about software development in this video but there’s a lesson hiding in plain sight about how to have a conversation about things that you have a difference of opinion about. Anyway, I’d highly recommend watching this video if you’re intereseted in learning things about good software development.

Anyone who is a software engineer should watch this video. It's a treasure trove of reflection on what software engineering is, was and, will be. A great deal of insight for both young and old.

It's simple but it's not easy. Having routines and systems in your life that compound over time is how to level up. It's how to feel strong and confident again. It brings the fire back. When you keep promises to yourself, you gain self respect. When you do something 30 days in a row that builds you, it becomes your identity. As soon as you "deserve a break" and stop doing the routines that build you, expect to feel down. You feel like a different person. You've lost your identity. If you're feeling lost right now, I have simple advice. Do the basics. But do them consistently. Don't give yourself excuses or 'I deserve a breaks" Because the confidence you've grown will leave. Get systems and routines into your life and eliminate the fog. 🛡️If you need systems and routines built into your life with brotherhood and accountability, tap the link in bio to apply to @menoffireprogram 💥 Free Training For Men: https://lnkd.in/eCSivCX9

Day 5, and guess what? I've done absolutely nothing. It's what I call the art of doing nothing. Yesterday, most of my time was spent resting and snoozing, and here's the kicker - I have no regrets about it. Now, you might be wondering why. Allow me to simplify it with an example. 😴💤 Today marks International Caps Lock Day, a day created by software developer Derek Arnold to playfully poke fun at typographical conventions. But over time, it has evolved into a day when we nudge our internet pals and colleagues and remind them that typing in all caps isn't exactly proper etiquette. 💻🔤 In life, much like in writing, we don't always need to present ourselves in "CAPS LOCK" mode, ticking all the boxes and shouting our accomplishments. Sometimes, after we've started with the capital letters (you know, the important and urgent stuff), it's perfectly fine to switch to lowercase and leave SPACES. It's in those spaces that the real beauty of life shines through, just like a captivating story with its pauses. 📝📚 The art of doing nothing creates those essential spaces, making your complex life easier to read, especially for yourself. So, rather than feeling guilty or regretful about not being constantly busy, embrace your free time. Remember, this is only for some days, not a permanent vacation. And keep in mind that consistency remains the key. The art of doing nothing is not an excuse to avoid taking action; it's a way to offer yourself a much-needed break and time for reflection, not just another excuse. 🌟🧘♂️ #CourseCreation #LinkedInMastery #LearningTogether #BuildInPublic 📚👩💻🤝🗓️

I was a first-generation college student. My parents didn’t know what a FAFSA was. So I did many things on my own throughout school and my early career without ever asking for help from anyone but Google (and Ask Jeeves to be fair….) A HUGE hang-up for me was the idea that I had to “help myself” before I was allowed to ask for help. That meant: 🤕 Not going to office hours or the tutoring center (until I was at the point of tears from struggling with a project). 🤕 Not asking my manager questions (unless I could first prove I had exhausted all my options for finding the answer myself). 🤕 Always taking the safe route (because – even though I had a hundred creative ideas that might have worked – I didn’t have the social safety net to catch me if one of those ideas failed). 🤕 Missing out on the chance to develop new neural pathways (because when I hit a wall it was all on me. No one was around to show me where the window was). I lived like this because the environments I’d been exposed to previously taught me to approach work and education this way. It took a lot of exposure to better environments to finally feel comfortable being A Person Who Asks For Help™️ . Luckily, I’m no longer in those negative spaces. But I feel sad for the younger version of me who thought it was normal. What I’ve learned is: Asking for help is generally received well. You're not "bothering" anyone. It doesn't make you look bad to ask for help. It makes you seem willing to learn. None of it HAS to be a reflection of YOU unless you internalize it. So try not to.
