Discussion on: What's your advice to someone over the age of 30 considering a career in software development?

[Orlando Brown]

Oh man your in my wheel house today, being that i am this person you speak of I would like to add.

• imposter syndrome: embrace it
• emotional intelligence: use it
• fundamentals: immersive yourself in it
• opinions: ignore them form your own
• existing paradigms: question everything
• your ideas: none of them are bad just different
• projects: always make small side projects
• code: keep it simple, readable and helpful for your future self.
• team: be around the smartest
• company: make sure they support you
• journey: document it, no matter how personal

I could go on, but the best one is be your self, your work is going to change someone's life. 😊
