Your Job Description

Is not what you were meant to do, it’s a guide, a prescription for what you need to achieve. If you accomplish your roles in a different manner and still maintain success you are doing things right. If you are redefining your job description to meet the needs of your team and company you are doing things right. If you are being challenged, growing and learning you are doing things right.

Writing Code for Someone’s Idea

You can write code to do anything you want. That’s the beauty of software development, you can write code to do anything you want.

Some thoughts on the Impostor

I wrote this post on the Impostor Syndrome a while back and was trying about my thoughts on being an Impostor in general and helped me get out of it. When I look back, the moment I stopped thinking about it, was the moment I stopped thinking about it, or rather didn’t have the time to think about it and all I could do was work. Whatever happened from there was outside of my control and a the very least I would learn more to take to the next opportunity. In short, I assumed the following stance; We only consider
