What is it like working as a Software Developer?
March 2015
Don't Go To College.
Software Developer:
College and grad school won't teach you what you need to succeed as a software developer. Find a summer internship after your junior year of high school somewhere that will teach you real software craftsmanship, and get a job in the industry as soon as you graduate. Instead of _wasting_ money hand over fist for four years, _make_ money hand over fist for those four years.
