  • This actually happened to me last month. I had to touch code from a previous team/project I was on.

    I got the call for a collaboration/consult. I forgot everything about it. Jumped in a meeting next day anyway. We pulled up the code. Everything was documented and I had a section with parameters for a “wish” feature that they actually wanted finally. I pointed it out and told them the needful to finish the feature.

    Thank you past me. I’ll have to buy you a drink.

    Then I had a nice 5pm Scotch.




  • I managed to get real lucky getting my cloud architect job without a bachelors.

    The trade off was loads of work experience in the exact field a job needed and a recommendation from someone on the project.

    I still broke six figures before that job offer without the job recommendation. That was from job hopping for 3 years.

    Gotta keep your resume up to date and literally keep applying. Got a new job? Update resume with new gig and keep applying.

    Now I’m happy where I’m at. Fantastic work culture and comfortable salary. Can I make more? Maybe but my work life balance is good and I can pay my bills/save money.
