Seattle - side projects / meet up and code?
I work hard and have been reading books at my free time, but would like to grow a bit more (hands-on/discussion/networking) ouside of work and meet friends! how do you start your side projects? (randomly scan through Github and just start contributing?) is there any casual recommanded meet up and code in seattle that you attend? TC: 200K YOE:2.5
Identify an itch and build something to address it. If you’re going for revenue, evaluate the market, put together an MVP, and test it out.
When you say books, what are some that you would recommend? (Digressing from topic)
Depends on what you do and what your interest are really. I like: - Phoenix project (novel for devops) - Effective Modern C++: 42 Specific Ways to Improve Your Use of C++11 and C++14 - Designing Data-Intensive Applications: The Big Ideas Behind Reliable, Scalable, and Maintainable Systems - Building Microservices: Designing Fine-Grained Systems - Designing Distributed Systems: Patterns and Paradigms for Scalable, Reliable Services
I am in Seattle and would also be interested in growing and networking opportunities. PM me if you wanna organize some sort of happy hour or meet up for a beer and tech discussion.
I would love to meet up
