One of the best things about having a daily presence on LinkedIn has been building up my contact with people working to begin a career in software development. It didn’t take long before the question of how to get that first job came up, and my usual answer was completely ruined by Covid. It is difficult to advise someone to join the local community by attending user groups and meetups when so many of those things have closed.
That’s why I decided to offer to host anyone getting started in their career. To provide them at least an online place to introduce themselves and their work to a small crowd of engineers of varied experience levels. I was so grateful at the response as well. Our first meeting drew quite an awesome group of people.
And now, some of my planned presenters are apologizing because they’re too busy with interviews and such to prepare for a presentation.
Let me say, the whole point of the presentations is to connect people. If what you’re doing is working, I couldn’t be happier. If you find that you have time to present, let me know and we’ll work out some kind of gathering.
