Writing great code is not enough to be a great SWE.
Your work must solve the right problems.
At the right time.
Alex Lau, a Senior Software Engineer @ Brilliant.org breaks down how to find and focus on this work β and how it's related to...a bike?
Through his own experience, Alex shares how we can both learn from our own mistakes and his. He equips listeners to recognize the right products & features to work on, and a way of escape if you find yourself caught up in trivial or meaningless work.
Recognizing and doing the right work is a skill that can be learned. Tune in as we dive into how we can improve, especially as software engineers.
