"Software engineering requires patience and humility"

We make better decisions when better informed, most of what I see about LLMs on LinkedIn is hype and focused only on the upsides. If you can see beyond the title of this video there's plenty of facts and things to make you think here, and a call to think about ethics in software engineering is always good IMHO. https://lnkd.in/egNH_Q2A

I am fascinated by the incredible innovation created by the greatest of minds Sir Linus Trovalds. I am completely enthralled by this simple looking software encapsulating the greatest of challange's in software engineering. Here is the basic overview along with some basic commands.

In his SheCodes course, Matthieu Delac compares being a software engineer to being a pilot: a pilot doesn't need to understand how the engine works to be able to fly the plane, just like a software engineer doesn't need to understand the inner workings of a computer to be able to write good code. This is his argument for why you don't need a Computer Science degree to be a good developer. I'm inclined to believe him; I've met many amazing devs who don't have a CS degree. Does anyone know of any particular advantages to having a degree compared to the same amount of time spent learning by other means?

💡 What is Clean Code? Some of the greatest minds in software development have shared their thoughts: 🔹 Bjarne Stroustrup (Creator of C++): Clean code should be elegant and efficient, with straightforward logic, minimal dependencies, complete error handling, and performance optimized to avoid unnecessary modifications. It should do one thing well and be easily understood by others. 🔹 Grady Booch (Co-creator of UML): Clean code is like well-written prose—simple, direct, and easy to understand, clearly communicating the designer’s intent. 🔹 Michael Feathers (Author of Working Effectively with Legacy Code): “Clean code always looks like it was written by someone who cares. Make it better.” 🔹 Ward Cunningham (Inventor of Wiki, Co-creator of Extreme Programming): “You know you are working on clean code when each routine you read turns out to be pretty much what you expected.” ✨ Clean code isn’t just about style—it’s about clarity, care, and craftsmanship. What does clean code mean to you? https://lnkd.in/gcwx85Hb

Hard Work Behind Computer Engineering From the outside, computer science and engineering may look simple — just sitting in front of a screen. But the reality is very different. 👉 Behind every project are sleepless nights, endless debugging, and countless hours of study and practice. From our journey, we’ve learned: ✔ Writing code is not the hard part — solving problems is. ✔ Debugging and fixing errors takes more patience than creating new features. ✔ True growth comes from persistence, continuous learning, and never giving up. 💡 Key takeaway: Computer engineering isn’t easy. It demands hard work, resilience, and determination. Every solution you see is backed by countless invisible efforts. #ComputerEngineering #HardWork #Persistence #ProblemSolving #ContinuousLearning #SoftwareEngineering #CodingLife #TechJourney #Dedication #BehindTheCode

Bill Gates asks: “What does VIBE stand for?” Linus Torvalds: “Very Inefficient But Entertaining.” That joke is funny — and true. Computational inefficiency locally is not a big problem. On my own machine, with abundant compute, I don’t mind burning a few extra cycles playing Cyberpunk. But the second you move into a data center, it’s a different story. Virtualization multiplies everything: every wasted cycle, every unnecessary byte ripples across thousands of workloads. That’s when inefficiency stops being “entertaining” — and starts being measured in gigawatts. #Efficiency #Optimization #Sustainability

A structured DSA learning path starting from basics to advanced topics combined with consistent problem-solving practice is crucial. It directly impacts interview success and builds strong software engineering foundations that last a lifetime in the IT industry

They say those who don't know history ... Are 'doomed' to repeat it. Fate aside, history helps us learn the lessons of our forebears. But what happens when those lessons, now separated by 5+ decades refer to events we're unfamiliar with? Peter Drucker, father of modern management, relies heavily on history to teach his wisdom. Drucker's wisdom still applies today, but it can be difficult to grok. This is one of the challenges I address with the Software Engineer's Commentary. The events, and people Drucker refers to proved unfamiliar to many of my colleagues. But those lessons can be equally demonstrated in more familiar settings. If that sounds intriguing, take a look: https://lnkd.in/ggg29Wh3 #drucker #effectiveness #learnfromhistory

Michael Truell has already built Cursor into one of the fastest-growing companies in AI coding, hitting $100M ARR in just a year. In this fireside chat with YC General Partner Diana Hu, he shares the lessons that came from years of failed projects with his co-founders, why he believes programming is still essential even as AI changes how we code, and how Cursor is taking on GitHub Copilot with the conviction that all of software development will flow through models. https://lnkd.in/dFRxjWEb

🚀 Code Ready Batch 1: Kicking Off Our Journey to Empower Digital Talent From July 23-25 and 28-29, 2025, we proudly launched Code Ready Batch 1—our very first initiative designed to prepare future IT/IS students for the challenges of academic life and the tech industry. Across 5 impactful sessions, participants explored: 💡 The Role of IT & Introduction to IT/IS Study Programs 🧠 Computational Thinking for Computer Science Students ⚙️ Fundamentals of Logic, Algorithms & Programming 🌐 Exploring IT Specialization Fields 🎓 Academic life, effective study strategies, & tips for timely graduation ✨ As the inaugural batch, this program marked not only a learning experience but also a milestone in our mission to nurture the next generation of digital talents. 🙏 We extend our gratitude to the speakers (Edwin Tenda, Roma Nouke Frets Mantiri, Albani Johanes, Agnes Gratia Lengkong, Deayanti Friska), participants, and organizing team for making this first step a success. The achievements of Batch 1 have set a strong foundation for the continuation of Code Ready in the future.
