Parting Thoughts

If I had to boil down my advice to just a short sentence or two, I would say to be open minded and self reflective. And truly, genuinely, listen to people and care about them.

I started programming on November 23rd, 2015 (I know because I had bought an online course that day). I’m coming up on ten years of coding, and I am by no means an expert at everything. I’m definitely pretty good at some things, but I’m still learning a lot of things too. I’m proud of where I came from, just making fun things for my friends and I in Minecraft, to following my dreams of going to Mines and studying computer science.

I have no idea where my career is going to take me. And, honestly, I don’t know how much I’ll code, because I like leadership and management. But I’m open to it all, and I’m confident that I can work with people. I’m going to fail and I’m going to make mistakes, but that’s all part of the ride.

I hope you learned a thing or two reading this. Check out my website if you want to get in touch. If there’s anything you disagree with in this book or would like me to add, open a GitHub issue or get in touch somehow and I’d be open to hearing your thoughts!

Thanks for listening.
