If I could go back in time and learn to code, I would do a lot of things differently. If I could start over, I’d spend more time doing practical projects rather than focusing on theory. I would also prioritize learning how to use an editor and the terminal. And above all, I’d adopt a coding mindset. Today, I walk you through an entire study plan to become a coder/software engineer. I hope this guide inspires you to keep coding and continue your software engineering career.

I’m a 23 year old, recent graduate working at a high growth startup! Follow along for insights into the tech industry, all things startup, and what to expect as a recent-grad remote software engineer.
