🫱🏾🫲🏼 Collab Lab helps early-career web developers learn software teams work. Their applications are now open.
Advice to young engineers: Read a lot of code. Several more times than you write. Ideally not the code internal to company. Go find where the state of the art is, study it.
Having worked in the docker codebase early in my career gave me a lot of skill boost long-term.
