Important mental framework for software engineers is the SOLID principle in #systemsDesign

People. People are the hardest part of software development. People are highly variable, and can be brilliant at some things and terrible at others, and _those things can change_ at any time. People are unwilling to be vulnerable, for reasons both good and bad, but good software requires cooperation and cooperation requires degrees of vulnerability. People aren't always clear about their motivations. Sometimes they aren't even aware themselves. People want clear-cut, yes-no answers to questions that demand bell curves. People get content to stay where they are, and miss (or, more frustratingly, actively reject) opportunities to grow - or are unprepared for change. People insist on using software in ways that make sense to them, and not as we intended. 🙂 People.

The beauty of Software Engineering is that the more you learn about it, the more you know how less you know about it. #developerlife #softwareengineering #continuouslearning #softwarearchitecture #systemdesign

This is also particularly good advice for software engineering.

Software engineering is the application of engineering principles to software development. What does this mean, exactly? https://lnkd.in/dB4CXaw3

How to be a 10x software engineer? Learn the 1s and 0s of software engineering. Period. Hopefully you saw what I did there 🌝. #costlyjokes

Context switches come in many forms: * A chat ping / email * A 30 minute meeting * People being loud / distracting It's bad for focus and focus is necessary for effective software engineering. https://lnkd.in/eXucjiXq

One key difference between programming and software engineering is the element of time. It is one thing to write a program that solves a specific problem here and now. It is a completely different thing to write a program that has to be maintained and evolved to solve new problems over time. Software Engineers deal with the latter. #softwareengineering

"Common sense" is one of the most important qualities required for software engineering.

Continuing the journey of software engineering, each project is a chapter of my journey. #SoftwareEngineering #CodingJourney
