This blog post will revolve around chapters 5 & 6
Chapter 5 was very interesting. It was about being professional in the software developer industry. Becoming a software professional entails being honest, knowing the can’s & cannot, ethics and having a code of conduct. There was a very interesting story about Sandro Mancuso who was a slave to a company that he had work for. In this chapter, he stated that his old company had him start the work day at 5am and end at 8pm. I find this to be outrageous. I don’t think anyone should be working for that long, because it will burn an individual out, and most of the time, the code that they are putting in isn’t the very best. I hope they paid him a lot of money for having him work more than 10 hours a day.
Chapter 6 goes on to talk about the qualities of a good software. The author lists out steps that a software developer should follow in order to create great code. If you do this from the gecko, then in the future, maintaining it would not be a challenge. Being a professional in the workforce is imperative and one should always stick to being one in order to become successful.
