Thoughts lately about my career as a software engineer

September 11, 2024 (5mo ago)

As a software engineer I realise I am not reflecting on my work frequently enough with myself, the experienced engineers I have surrounded myself with.

I want to start writing about my work/my side projects more so I can reflect on how I learn, so I learn faster next time and let the public give feedback on what can I do better/what am I doing correctly.

Starting from the first side project I worked on - DevLog.

I want to talk about

  • the motivation of the project
  • what has the project achieved
  • if I want to continue working on it

Motivation of the project

To pick up tools used in the AI agents/LLM space.

What has the project achieved

  • I presented the idea infront of 10 people in a foreign city (ps: its my second time in SF and I haven't presented anything infront of anyone since university).
  • I executed the first iteration on an idea of mine to build something that would help developers like myself.

Do I want to continue working on it?

Yes. I want to spend more time thinking about the ideal scenarios of the develoepers after using my tool.
