Preface

This document is intended to provide advice for people working in industry, but primarily for those working in software engineering or very closely related high-paying tech fields such as security, IT, machine learning, data science, etc.

This is written from the perspective of 6+ years experience, but hopefully contains some good nuggets of advice even for those who have experience beyond that.

Optimize for happiness.

Not for salary, not for status, not for "career growth". All of those things are just proxies for things people think will make them happy. Sometimes the best job you can have is a "rest and vest" position working 5 hours a week for comparatively less salary, because time spent with family and on your hobbies is more important than the salary growth you give up in exchange.

Always think about a job (and anything else) in terms of tradeoffs. How good is the food in the area? Can you enjoy your favorite hobbies in the area (skiing, camping, sports, esports, scuba, surfing, etc)?

After cloning the repo and installing dependencies (and adding the .gitignore+Pipenv stuff), I ran the following command

(for reference, pipenv run uses the "pipenv" which is a dedicated Python environment just for this project, instead of running just python -m ... which uses the computer's default Python environment which is shared across ~everything)

pipenv run python -m yelp_scrape -- food "South Lyon"

This gave me the following error:

Japanese Study Guide

In no particular order, here are various learning materials and methods I used to study Japanese. Read what you like, take what you like, and ignore anything you don't.

Also, I don't speak Japanese, so maybe this whole guide sucks.

Humanity has always looked to expand its horizons. It started on foot, traveling across land to hunt and forage for food. Soon it became horses to venture ever further, and ships to cross the seas. Eventually, humankind developed flight, and their world began to feel small. So they looked to the stars.

Soon after taking flight for the first time, humans reached the moon. Then other planets in their solar system. Then finally, beyond. However, humans were fundamentally limited by the speed of light, a physical constant that constrained their travel. It took human explorers over 5 years in a spaceship to reach the nearest star, Proxima Centauri.

They were nothing if not determined, however. Humanity began building ever-bigger spaceships for ever-longer journeys, eventually culminating in the “Generation Ships”, massive starships the size of the Earth’s moon designed to ferry hundreds of thousands of travelers across the stars as they grow old, die, and have children to continue their journey. Several generati

Preface

This advice pertains primarily to university students with the intention of beginning a career in software engineering after graduation. Your mileage may vary in other contexts.

Do Not Stress Out About Grades

For most of your life, you've probably been in a formal education system that prioritizes grades over everything else.

Great! Get good grades if you can! Pay attention in class and do your best to learn your class material; it will probably be much more important than it seems to you now.

Preface

This document is intended to provide concrete, helpful advice for people entering into the software engineering industry who do not yet have recruiters stuffing their email inboxes.

When I say "top-tier" in this document, it's meant solely to refer to the relative level of compensation between companies for tech employees. It's not meant to imply any sort of qualitative or moral difference between them, or even imply that working for a "top-tier" company is better than working for a non-"top-tier" company. It's just shorthand for compensation.

The Multi-Tiered Industry

Due to various social, economic, cultural, political, and bullshit factors, the tech industry has several clear tiers in terms the the quality of positions that can be obtained in the field. This isn't fair, it doesn't make sense, and it sucks, but my goal with this document is to inform you of the way I see the industry, and make sure you have the right information to make informed decisions about your career.

Preface

This document is a list of all the career advice I've written to help people out in various stages of their software career.

I recommend reading all of them because I think they all contain useful information, but obviously you can just read the ones that seem most relevant to your situation, or read none of them at all.
