New Chapter

Apex · October 14th, 2023, 03:35 PM

Nothing motorcycle related for sure.

I have been in IT for years, since '18. Did a ton while I was in the group. Luckily I proposed an idea for an application to be used at work, to log visitors to our datacenter.

This gave me the chance to code an application. This application logged the data we required for our auditors.

I coded a solution in a version of JavaScript. I got to learn 100% full stack development. Every aspect from the backend server stuff, all the way to what the user sees on the screen. This taught me a TON about programming. Even got me so familiar with Linux, where I took an older laptop and installed a verion of Linux on it as my "main computer".

Long story short, it opened up a chance for me to interview with out dev team. Needless to say, here I am, a year later, and waiting for the transfer into my Dev department, where I will be a software developer.

I am so stoked! It has been a long time coming! I should be moving before the end of the month. Just waiting on paperwork to be processed, and them I will finally be moving from a network systems administrator role to a software developer.

We've been a no-Microsoft, all Linux family since the turn of the century, first with Red Hat and then with Fedora. One of my daughters likes Mint.

Good for you for the career advancement! I was a mechanical engineer for my whole career, but did a fair amount of electronics and programming during that time. The programming was always enjoyable to me. I hope it stays that way for you too.

Nice! Nice to gain new skills and be able to use them.

Officially a software developer now! Just finished my first week in the new role, and woa.....I was exhausted on Friday. I have never concentrated that hard for so long. It will get easier for sure, but I am really enjoying the challenge!
