Remixing my career
summary
A career shifts from analog mixing consoles to software by learning on projects not theory, moving from solder points and tape machines to Unity3D and AWS, tackling Objective‑C, Android and C++ one at a time. Early wins come from a Udacity project that builds a web crawler and search engine and from writing quicksort by hand. Key practices are unit testing first, using distributed version control, joining meetups, focusing on one stack instead of trying to learn everything at once.
