CEO
I lead a team of tech professionals providing support to small businesses.
I do a lot of monitoring, communicating, and planning. Every morning, I get a pulse for what’s happening by reading reports and by checking in with my team. I also make sure that any urgent client matters get handled or get a personal response from me. Despite being trained as a programmer, a lot of my day is spent writing. I have to respond to clients and develop plans for new technologies we’re exploring and old technologies we’re phasing out.
Here's the first step for professionals
Get comfortable with failing over and over again. If you’re trying to write some code that doesn’t work, then just accept it and focus on fixing it. It’s very easy to get frustrated. You can work on something for hours on end and then find out a very small detail threw off the entire project, so get comfortable with failure and anticipating errors. You wont be great at it out of the gate. I don’t care how many books you study, nobody sits down and writes flawless code on the first try.
