What All New Software Developers Need To Know

I asked a bunch of industry-leaders and experienced software developers for their career advice for junior software developers. I got hundreds of responses. This video collates that advice and adds some of my own. So if you are just getting started, or about to begin, in your career as a software developer, here is some really valuable advice from industry experts, leaders in the field, as well as some of the people that will be hiring you, and probably managing and teaching you when you start out. I hope that you find it interesting, helpful maybe even inspiring in places.

New software developers, just starting out, often focus on the wrong things. It is easy to get lured into the technicalities of language, frameworks and tools. After all, that is where we spend most of our time: but that is not what we do.

I have been lucky in my career to work on some fantastic teams, with great people. Amongst my proudest achievements though has been in helping to coach and improve some software developers who were just starting out in their careers and in helping them to become world-class in their field.
