Software Developer
I’ve been perusing the internet looking for an idea that I could steal. Something worth sharing with you here today on my blog. Something I could remix into my own thing.
I first heard of the meat grinder approach for finding startup ideas in a post by Tyler Tringas.
Tyler doesn’t try to find good business ideas. He uses the meat grinder approach to filter out all the bad ideas he has.
Have you ever talked to someone who’s not listening to you?
Anyone else struggling with committing to code every day? There’s no time for anything. At least that’s how it feels, doesn’t it?
I’ve recently been implementing an X-Card strategy for writing.
The basic idea is that I try to write a specific number of words each day for seven weeks. Every day that I do, I write an X down on a notecard that I’ve created. Eventually, I’ll build a chain of X’s that will help keep me motivated to continue.
As a Software Developer, I would like to translate this strategy over to programming, which has been difficult for me to do in the past. I’ve been making excuses about how building a habit of daily coding is different from building a daily habit of writing.
“Everyone you know started off as an unknown until they did the thing that made them known.” —Gary Vaynerchuk
I recently heard this idea from a highly successful businessman Gary Vaynerchuk and wanted to elaborate on its applicability for software developers. The concept is that you’re one piece of content away from changing your life.
In my experience, developers often overlook the non-technical interview.
I’ve been the company culture guy during quite a few interviews. The task is simply to answer one question: “Is this person a good fit for our team?” Some have been great, and others have flopped.
What do top developers do to ensure they’re hired?
