Hey LinkedIn fam! 🚀 Just stumbled upon Code Craft - a hidden gem for budding software engineers! Imagine building a complex project from the ground up, gaining hands-on experience just like you're in the tech trenches. It's not just about the theory; it's the real deal. And guess what? Dive in with a one-week free trial and get your code on! Let's level up our skills together! 💻 ✨ #CodeCraft #SoftwareEngineering #RealWorldProjects #LearnByDoing

🚀 To all Software Engineers out there: 🚀 You know that moment when your code finally works after hours (or days) of debugging? 😅 It’s the best feeling in the world. But here’s the kicker — success isn’t just in the final product. It’s in the grind, the learning, the mistakes, and the little wins along the way. 💡 Here’s my reminder today: Keep pushing. Every bug fixed, every line of code written, is a step toward growth. Your progress isn’t always linear, but it’s always happening. Let’s celebrate the journey — not just the destination. 💪 #SoftwareEngineering #DevLife #TechJourney #CodeOn

So much of software engineering doesn’t actually involve coding a feature. Instead, it’s about: - Figuring out what to code. Lots of problems that are solved with janky code probably also could’ve been solved by clarifying the actual requirements. - Cleaning up tech debt in preparation to scale - Writing good documentation. Honestly, if it’s not accurate, don’t write it please. It’ll cause so much confusion later on. - Testing. Writing tests, running tests, debugging tests, fixing tests. - Digging through StackOverflow and blogs from 2010 to find a trace of an answer to solve some obscure bug with terrible error messaging - Realizing that you don’t ever want to go through it again and figuring out how to improve your own error messages #software #development #AngelasTechspertise

THE COHORT APPLICATION PROCESS IS NOW LIVE! You can apply to be in the Cohort! EDIT: Due to the OVERWHELMING response, we will have to cut off applications earlier than we anticipated. It hasn't even been 24 hours, and we have over 150 applications submitted to Cohort members. We planned to leave it up for 2 weeks but will now cut off submissions on Saturday. This might end up being our largest cohort yet! What is the Cohort? A 6-week volunteer-run program where we place people on teams to build projects being guided by a professional software developer in the industry. 100% Free. What do they build? Not only are they building projects BUT technical solutions with business value! Here is a video of the projects they have built in the past and the teams explaining it. https://lnkd.in/g-9sBdzj To be a Cohort Member apply here https://lnkd.in/ga8vsiFS To be a Cohort Team Lead, please fill this out. https://lnkd.in/g97RvKfh We do not guarantee acceptance just because you applied. We turned down several hundred applications last time. Many factors go into acceptance. #coding #code #programming #softwareengineering

💻 The Reality of Software Engineering: Expectations vs. Reality Expectation: 🚀 Building clean, flawless code on the first try! Reality: 🐛 Debugging why your "Hello World" app is crashing… again. We all know the drill—what starts as a smooth coding session can quickly turn into a rabbit hole of unexpected bugs and issues. But hey, that’s part of the fun, right? Software engineering isn’t just about writing perfect code; it’s about embracing the chaos, laughing at the bugs, and celebrating the small wins (like finally getting that one-line fix after hours of searching). Here’s to the engineers who keep going, even when the code doesn’t! Keep pushing, keep learning, and remember: it’s not a bug, it’s a feature (that’s what I’m telling myself anyway). enjoy your life :) #SoftwareEngineering #TechLife #DebuggingIsLife #CodeWithHumor

Code reviews are not about proving who's smarter. They're about making the code better, not breaking the person who wrote it. Don't attack people. Attack the problem. Find ways to improve the code, not feed your ego. Be brutal with the code, but kind to the coder. At the end of the day, we're all here to ship better software, not to win arguments. #CodeReviews #DevLife #Teamwork

The Code Review Nobody Talks About (But Should) 🤔 Let’s face it—code reviews are probably the most underrated part of software development. No one teaches you how to do them; most of us pick it up on the go. But did you know that mastering this skill can make or break the quality of your codebase? Code reviews aren’t just about catching bugs—they’re about shaping the future of your product. They save hours of debugging and prevent many headaches down the line. But why do we keep treating them like a boring chore? Are you curious about how to make your code reviews more impactful? Swipe through our carousel to discover insights that could change the way you and your team approach this critical process. #CodeReview #EngineeringExcellence #TechSkills #CodeQuality #SoftwareDevelopment

Every great software engineer knows the secret: small, consistent wins lead to big achievements. It’s not about writing perfect code on day one. It’s about learning, experimenting, and growing each day. Today’s Challenge: Take one small step towards your goal—whether it’s learning a new concept, fixing a bug, or starting a project you’ve been putting off. What’s your small win today?
