    4 little letters almost got me fired.

    LGTM.

    "Looks good to me"

    As a software developer you'll be reading code much more than you will be writing it.

    Part of your role will almost certainly include looking over your peers' code and giving them feedback. These are called PRs or peer reviews.

    I sucked at PRs until our lead developer called me out! In this episode we will learn how to approach peer reviews as a developer and how they fit into the software development life cycle.

    Here's a video going over how I like to do peer reviews 👉 PR 101

    #136 - 3 Reasons Why Most People Fail After a Coding Bootcamp... and How to Avoid Their Fate

    For the last 10 years I've been writing code for a living and also worked at several bootcamp programs. I now own Parsity, a coding bootcamp. I also went to 2 bootcamps myself!

    I know they can work wonders and change lives.

    I've also seen a lot of people who failed to make the transition to software engineer.

    That sucks.

    Let's explore 3 reasons why I've seen people fail and more importantly, how you can avoid a similar fate.

    Also - this is the last week for you to get a massive discount on tuition to Parsity. Join here

Love this podcast (from an aspiring developer)

I started listening to this podcast after Brian had taken over from Aaron and Peter (not knowing about the transition because I began at episode 1) and I can admit I loved it from the beginning. The topics were mostly still relevant (even the 2021 topics brought forward to 2024) because the mindset hasn't changed even if the market has. currently attending a BootCamp in Canada, I don't mind the Parsity plugs at all.
