Today I bring to you file versioning, a tech profile, and an inspirational book.
š Git is such a key technology for any developer out there, but Iāve noticed that so few knows how to use it. I push my students to use it during the courses I teach.
Get started with Git by following this article. It wonāt give you everything, but it will get you 90% there.
š· I like the stories of people in tech to see career possibilities. It helps me to see assess my options as well.
This is a conversation describing the software engineering career in general with the CTO of OpenAI, one of the most disruptive companies of our times.
š This book came out in 2002. I havenāt read it yet, but it is on my āto-readā list. This is a short summary put together by psychologist Nick Wignall (never heard of him? Neither have I!)
My takeaway: To rip the rewards you must put in the work. So obvious, but lately I feel I want to ensure the rewards are guaranteed before Iām willing to put the work.
My personal updates:
-
š§ My daughter just got her first job at 17. She is excited to make some money on her own. Iām sure she is already spending what she didnāt make yet. I try to teacher her better than that though.
-
š¦ø We went to FanExpo yesterday. So crowded. Crazy cosplays. Lots of famous peeps, like the Karate-kid, Daredevil, and cast of the Scream movie. I go because of my kids. Just too exhausting. But had a great time with both my girls.

š· Things are still going slowly with the interview process. I had the 4th conversation last Monday, but now it has been a week without communication. What would you do in my position? Reach out to them? Say what? I have some ideas, but would love to hear your thoughts.
