I graduated from General Assembly Software Engineer Immersive Program this week. And there is a lot of mixed emotions I have now that it is done. F...

I also attended a coding bootcamp and was surprised how transferable my econ skills/knowledge were. In terms of being able to think of a "system" and see the different parts and how they interact with each other and also influence the outcome.
So cool you said cooking skills. What made your cooking skills transferable?
I would say using skills to solve problems and testing solutions transferred over. I found myself constantly testing things like, how much salt to add to a recipe or if I can incorporate basil to bring out x flavor. In coding, I test out different ways to make functions in javascript and finding new ways to filter to increase productivity. And cooking always had me looking at the end product of a dish(or my application I am working on) and finding out what methods or ingredients(algorithms and datatypes) work best and still get the same end result. Unfortunately with cooking, I can't just "git revert" to my previous measurement lol. But the creativity I learned from cooking has really helped me out as well!
What were some of the skills you found transferable in your previous econ background? I always find it interesting to find the correlation between different industries!
Haha that would be great “ooo too much salt let me git revert that” 😂
That is super cool though. It sounds similar to how my econ degree/thinking transferred. Thinking of a system input and outputs. How can I change the inputs to get the desired output or how could I use different inputs to get the same output. How the inputs interact with each other.
Systems thinking is what I would consider it. But also aside from any skill transfer I believe you need to have a general interest “how things work”. Sounds like you do!
Congratulations again!!!
Why do you want to make the same app in Vue and React?
would like to know your thoughts on this.
It would just be interesting to find out how to do things in different languages and for practice mostly. They seem pretty similar but I would like to see what their strengths and weaknesses are. And to see which language I prefer, maybe there is a better way to go about that but it seems like a fun experiment.
