I'm Blake from Texas. I'm currently 50. + +### How did you get interested in programming? + +I got into building websites with HTML back in college. I saw a friend building a website in the computer lab. I thought it was cool and something I wanted to do. + +### When did you start learning to code? + +Back in the late 1990s, and then I went back to learning coding in 2011. + +### Where do you learn new skills? + +Present tense. Coding Phase and Udemy. + +### What do you love the most about programming? + +The creativity. I used to draw and play guitar all the time, so I resonate with the moniker Rock Star Developer. + +### What do you hate about programming? + +Nothing really, just having to do things differently as certain features become deprecated. + +### Are you currently working as a developer? + +No. I'm looking to get into the industry. However, it's hard when one doesn't have personal or professional projects to show in their portfolio, and that's why I went with Coding Phase. + +### What's your favorite stack or type of applications? + +LAMP: Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. MERN is also a good stack, but a library like Svelte might replace React in the near future. + +### What's a technology or language or skill you wish to learn in the future? + +Julia. + +### Where do you see yourself in 5 years? + +Living overseas most likely, somewhere the USD goes further and yet where it's relatively safe to live. Professionally, making 6+ figures a year either as a developer or an entrepreneur. + +### If you were to go back into time and give yourself an advice to make it easier to learn to code what would you say? + +Get a mentor. Apply for as many jobs as you can just to get your foot in the door. Go to more networking events. diff --git a/post/full-name-interview.md b/post/full-name-interview.md deleted file mode 100644 index 8efdec0..0000000 --- a/post/full-name-interview.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,54 +0,0 @@ ---- -title: "Developer Interview: Your Full Name" -date: "2019-02-25" -category: "Interview" -tags: design, development -cover_image: "/img/blog/interview-full-name.png" -author: "Your Full Name" -author_image: "/img/blog/authors/joe-santos-garcia.png" -author_link: "https://www.twitter.com/codingphase" ---- - -### Can you introduce yourself (name, location, age, etc..)? - -write your answer here - -### How did you get interested in programming? - -write your answer here - -### When did you start learning to code? - -write your answer here - -### Where do you learn new skills? - -write your answer here - -### What do you love the most about programming? - -write your answer here - -### What do you hate about programming? - -write your answer here - -### Are you currently working as a developer? - -write your answer here - -### What's your favorite stack or type of applications? - -write your answer here - -### What's a technology or language or skill you wish to learn in the future? - -write your answer here - -### Where do you see yourself in 5 years? - -write your answer here - -### If you were to go back into time and give yourself an advice to make it easier to learn to code what would you say? - -write your answer here
