Swyx Interview on Daily Dev Tips

I was interviewed by Chris Bongers on Daily Dev Tips, here are some extracts.

What tips would you give someone interested to switch to tech?

• It takes time, but it’s a long term investment. The tech industry is one of those industries where we will always have a job.
• You must never stop learning and improving yourself. The tech industry shifts rapidly so you need to keep up with the latest technology.
• Market yourself in every possible way. Start writing, live streaming, being an active contributor, and promote yourself.

You’re a big advocate for writing in public. Why is that?

• It makes you understand the subject better.
• It’s a way of organizing learning while people also point out your mistakes.
• When you are writing in public, keep your ego small. If you are genuinely learning, people will want to help and then follow your journey.
