Software Engineering

My Journey as a software Engineer

“Don’t bury your failures. Let them inspire you.” — Unknown
I started coding during my first year at university, with Java. This was a paid course taught by a senior from the same school I was in at the time. He was the first person to introduce me to programming .
I had no computer at the time, so I would write out my code in a book and then proceed to manually compile it in my head. We called this dry-running back then. It was very challenging to say the least. Whenever I would get an opportunity to use a friend's computer, I would run my own code on it just to confirm the accuracy. I believe this has helped me to become a better programmer, as I now mentally evaluate my own code even before my IDEs do it for me.
