DEPLOY’s Post

Dive into the heart of the debate this Saturday! 💡 Love it or loathe it, technical jargon shapes our industry dialogue. But what's the strangest term you've encountered? Join the conversation and share your thoughts on the impact of tech talk. Let's explore the pros and cons together! Pros: Precision: Jargon often serves as a shorthand for complex concepts, allowing for clearer communication among experts. Efficiency: Using specialized terminology can streamline discussions, saving time and reducing ambiguity. Community Building: Shared jargon can foster a sense of belonging within professional communities, enhancing collaboration and camaraderie. Cons: Exclusion: Over-reliance on jargon can alienate newcomers or non-technical stakeholders, hindering effective communication. Misinterpretation: Technical terms may carry different meanings in different contexts, leading to confusion or misunderstandings. Barrier to Entry: The prevalence of jargon can deter individuals from pursuing careers in tech, perpetuating exclusivity within the industry. Let's strive for a balanced approach! While technical jargon can enhance precision and efficiency, let's also prioritize clarity and inclusivity in our communications. #TechTalk #JargonDebate #IndustryInsights 🚀

𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞! Last month, I launched a LinkedIn Newsletter focused on helping engineers grow in their careers. I’m thrilled to share that 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 4 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬, 𝐰𝐞’𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 3𝐤+ 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬! However, after testing the waters, we’ve made the decision to transition to a more specialized platform: Why the switch? LinkedIn’s newsletter platform, while great for visibility, lacks the flexibility and features we need, like collaboration options and integration with external tools. Substack offers the versatility we need to provide even more value to our growing community. What’s next? On Substack, we’ll be diving even deeper into topics like career growth, interview preparation, and industry knowledge. Our mission remains the same: to share insights and wisdom that help engineers thrive. 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤: 𝐡𝐭𝐭𝐩𝐬://𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐥𝐚𝐛.𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤.𝐜𝐨𝐦/ Thank you to everyone who has subscribed and supported this journey. Stay tuned—bigger and better content is coming your way!

I have over 3,000 people in my network. Let's use this post to introduce ourselves, exchange contact info and build connections. Digital Tech, Marketing and Project Management could benefit from a bit of community in this hiring climate. __________________________________ Give your best "elevator pitch" in comments. 👇🏼 #socialsaturday #connection #community #digitalmarketing #projectmanagement #networking

𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫? 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐰! (𝐌𝐚𝐱 𝐇𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞) Remember Max Howell, the coder behind Homebrew? The package manager used by everyone? Turns out, even legends stumble. Like, Google interview stumble. Max couldn't invert a binary tree in their interview. Gasp! Seven lines of recursion! The horror! Google's loss, humanity's gain, right? Homebrew wouldn't exist, and craft beer nights would be infinitely duller. But here's the real kicker: is this how we judge talent? Is a single coding puzzle the ultimate filter for innovation? Let's talk about real-world impact. Max built something millions use daily, something that revolutionized software development. That's the metric, folks. So, to all the hiring managers out there, ditch the binary tree blinders. Look for passion, for creativity, for problem-solving beyond the whiteboard. You might just discover the next Max Howell hiding in plain sight. #homebrew #google #failforward #hiringfail #realworldskills #passionnotpuzzles P.S. I can invert a binary tree. But can you brew a killer IPA? 𝐌𝐚𝐱 𝐇𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥'𝐬 𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭: 𝘩𝘵𝘵𝘱𝘴://𝘵𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳.𝘤𝘰𝘮/𝘮𝘹𝘤𝘭/𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘴/608682016205344768?𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨=𝘦𝘯 Share your thoughts! Have you ever bombed a tech interview? What do you think companies should prioritize when hiring? Let's spark a conversation! #LinkedIn #DevLife #TechCommunity

I've grown more in 8 months with Clearlink than I did in 5 years with other companies. I've been given more projects. I've been given more responsibility. I've been given more variety in my day-to-day. And don't get me wrong, I LOVED my previous jobs and teams. But there's something unique about working at small and mid-sized companies that you don't get at large Fortune 500 and FAANG companies. Larger companies tend to have siloed job expectations and fixed processes already built out. But mid-sized companies give you opportunities to build, test, and make a real impact. Yes, there is so much value to joining some of those larger companies. Some of my best recruiting practices I learned at a larger company. But don't skip out on those small and mid-sized companies that you're less familiar with. They'll invest in you more than you know.

I think last night's meet-up with Doug Kellermeyer, MBA might have been my favorite one so far 🥳 (...sorry John Dye 😅) I LOVE how Doug attacks a problem creatively. We chatted about how he figured out a way to more effectively find new tech job leads and clients for web dev contract work 👏🏻 Not only did he TELL us how he does it, but he SHOWED us live 🚀 Did you miss it?! No worries, it's on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/e6iSe26k What was your biggest takeaway?! 🚀 #codingwithcallie #meetup #webdev #contractwork #jobleads

🚀 **#CrackYourPlacement Challenge: ** 🚀 Excited to kick off my #CrackYourPlacement challenge for the next 45 days! 💼 Over the next month and a half, I'll be diving deep into coding practice, algorithm mastery, and interview preparation to gear up for upcoming placement opportunities. My goal is to sharpen my skills, stay consistent, and crack those interviews with confidence. 🔹 **Daily Coding Challenges** 🔹 **Algorithm and Data Structure Mastery** 🔹 **Mock Interviews and Feedback Sessions** 🔹 **Networking and Learning from Peers** I'm looking forward to sharing my progress, tips, and resources along the way. If you're on a similar journey or have any advice, let's connect and support each other! #Coding #PlacementPreparation #CareerGrowth #Tech #InterviewPreparation #StayMotivated #CrackYourPlacement

#TechnicalWriting #SoftwareDocumentation #Docs #SoftwareDevelopment: "The majority of tech writers I know try hard and do their best at an individual level; it’s what surrounds them, and their reaction to that environment, that determines “failure”. In this sense, failing is not being able to exit a certain zone where we lack power or resources. As tech writers we usually know what works best for docs, but we’re often not in a position to steer engineering or product orgs on our own. It’s a labor of persuasion and patience. It’ll always be — at least until we get Chief Documentation Officers to be the norm. Don’t count on that though: the time of Chief Knowledge Officers and similar positions that used to be present in org charts is waning. Software development has a very short memory. Ultimately, failure isn’t a flaw in our abilities but a reflection of the systems we navigate and the influence we can exert within them. It’s the disconnect between what we know is necessary and what we’re allowed to accomplish. The path forward lies in continuously expanding our influence, advocating for the visibility of our work, and bridging gaps between disciplines. We must persist in redefining the narrative around technical writing, turning our perceived failures into opportunities for growth. The future of our profession depends on it." https://lnkd.in/dbv7cFG2

To fellow Software Engineers, I just published my first YouTube video 😁 It's an impromptu system design discussion with one of my friends just like we do in office while working on a green-field project. It's candid, sometimes random yet full of information. You can utilize this video as a learning resource and interview preparation. Hope, you will like it. Link in the comments.
