It&#8217;s called <a href=\"https:\/\/letterstoanewdeveloper.com\/\">Letters to a New Developer<\/a>. It&#8217;s a blog with over forty posts full of advice for people who are just starting out in the field of development.<\/p>\n<p>So much of development is not about code. It&#8217;s about teams and processes and organizations and questions. I feel like the traditional education system (whether four year college or bootcamp) does a good job of teaching folks coding fundamentals (what you need to be a programmer) but there is so much more to being a successful developer than coding. In my experience, delivering code is a necessary but not sufficient activity for success in a software company.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve spent the last five months writing up some of my experiences and learnings.<\/p>\n<p>The posts are mostly mine, but some are from guest posters who bring a different perspective. I also excerpt posts I find on the Internet that I find helpful, so that I can stand on the shoulders of some of the giants who have come before.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of my favorite Letters To a New Developer posts: <a href=\"https:\/\/letterstoanewdeveloper.com\/2018\/12\/14\/always-be-journaling\/\">Always Be Journaling<\/a> from Brooke Kuhlmann, <a href=\"https:\/\/letterstoanewdeveloper.com\/2018\/12\/31\/get-used-to-failure\/\">Get Used to Failure<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/letterstoanewdeveloper.com\/2018\/09\/24\/learning-to-read-code-is-more-important-than-learning-to-write-it\/\">Learning to Read Code is More Important Than Learning to Write It<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you find this project as fun to read as I&#8217;ve found it to write.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been working on a new project that I&#8217;m excited to share here.
