- Hi I’m a software engineer at Spotify and have been programming professionally for 6 years. I also have a computer science degree. I still struggle with foundational programming concepts sometimes. And it doesn’t make me any less of a developer 💁🏻♀️
- In two weeks I start my dream job as a software engineer at Spotify. I am both terrified and thrilled.
- I realize talking money is taboo for many but I’m debating making a blog post breaking down my 5+ sources of passive income and explaining how I earn more on side projects than at my day job. Would this be interesting or annoying? I don’t want it to come off as bragging.
- Anyone else ever put in headphones without playing anything, simply because you want to avoid other humans? 😳
- DEVELOPERS DO NOT NEED CS DEGREES DEVELOPERS DO NOT NEED CS DEGREES DEVELOPERS DO NOT NEED CS DEGREES DEVELOPERS DO NOT NEED CS DEGREES Seriously stop the fucking gate keeping.

- *Works on fixing a bug for 3 hours with no progress and a multitude of contempt for programming* ... *Wakes up the next morning and fixes the bug in 2 minutes* 🤦♀️
- I’ve been rejected from many job interviews in my life. My most recent I had 5+ interview rounds, a full day of onsite coding interviews and I made it to the final stage before I got rejected. There is no shame in a job rejection. Don’t beat yourself up. We all get rejected ❤️
