One of my takes that I get wrapped up in because tweets are inherently bad for nuanced discourse is “coding is not the hard part” It is also not easy. Coding is a skill that you can definitely learn and it takes time and regular practice to get good at it. techgirl1908/1361470458101723138Permalink On twitter.com

You have to push yourself in new and different ways regularly and keeping up with some level of expertise takes effort! Consistent effort!Permalink On twitter.com

What I’m always _trying_ to say is that once you’ve learned to code and are good at it, then there are a gigantic stack of new skills you have to learn to be a consistent and excellent engineer.Permalink On twitter.com

I’ve worked at a place where every engineer there has their ticket punched forever because of the famously high caliber. That place bombed because of a total lack of product direction and understanding of the business needsPermalink On twitter.com

So I’m amending my statement: “Coding is not the only hard part and unless you learn some of the other aspects of engineering software that come with seniority and time, then you’ll hit a wall where you’ll talk all day about ‘beautiful code’ at companies that fail over and over”On twitter.com
