` * Don't expect to learn everything at school. * Working in tech means to learn continuously. * ...and face challanges. ??? * E.g. to get a senior promote, the technical expertise is probably the less signifficant * And probably the promotion committee doesn't care about your code. * But coding is required to get the right skills, though. * No one will call you a good dev if you are working on a useless project or no one knows about you. * Be the face of your school project. Lead the project. * Not just about writing code, also review PRs, respond to issues, help with testing, ... * Deploy the blog first! Write about your experience. * Theory in school vs. practical in a real job. Tell own experience. * What's valuable from school? Security, linux/unix/windows labs, math, algorithms, project management. * Twitter is good. --- # Futurama quote **Steve Castle**: Listen, big guy, now that you're my protégé, it's time I cut you in on the secret to success.
