🧉 Martin So, what's everyone up to today? In my remaining few months of "funemployment", I'm working on a language-learning app idea and hoping to get something out there before I run out of time.

👂 Sly Going through a fullstack engineer curriculum at c0d3, so far the community is very welcoming and everybody is nice and ready to help. c0d3.com

🧉 Martin Great, hope you're enjoying it. For me, it has (already) been a great career choice. There are definitely worse jobs in the world :)

👂 Sly Thanks! I just hope that starting at 30 isn't gonna be a big handicap especially seeing those already making it in their 20s.

🧉 Martin My advice related to that is to specialise (to some degree). There are lots of average engineers who can throw a basic web app together, but there are few that really understand a certain aspect deeply within the very broad field of software engineering. Become really good at one of those (ideally one not too esoteric, for obvious reasons).
