So you wanna be a developer...

[mikegg89]

This is the story on how I got my job as a junior developer

Me = {
firstName: Micheal,
LastName: Giles,
Age: 28
}

First let me start off by saying, I am a cereal hobbyist and I like to dabble into all sorts of things, here's an Array/list of some of the things i've been into over the past 10 Years.

HobbyList = [

Day-trading Forex,

Day-trading Morning Momentum Stocks,

Crypto Trading,

Photography,

Programing Games in lua,

Programing Small Python Scripts,

Building Websites,

YouTube,

Affiliate Marketing,

Retail Arbitrage With Amazon FBA,

Art,

Jiu-Jitsu,

Etc...

]

At first I started out with 0 experience in any of these things

let experience = 0

But I would practice them for a few month at a time, and with a lot of passion

let practice = moment.duration(3, 'months')

My family liked to hound me about switching hobby's all the time, and at first I would frustrate my self with it. But as I got older I realized, every time I would revisit a hobby I would be building on the experience that I gained from the time before, so I grew comfortable looping over this list.

HobbyList.forEach(Hobby => (Hobby = practice ? experience++ : 'your being lazy');

I really enjoyed my programming hobby's, but honestly I never thought I would have a job as a developer, It was just a hobby, something I liked to do for free, but then an opportunity happened. I found some one who I went to high school with, he was a real developer and the best part, he was developing smart contracts on the Ethereum Virtual Machine. I was lucky, but I was also prepared.
