About
This is a session I offer periodically to answer questions about life as a software engineer. It's probably of most interest to those in high school considering a degree/career in software and those in college pursuing computer science.
I'll give a short background on my time as a software engineer (20+ years) and then open things up to any questions the audience may have about my experiences in the profession and what life has been like as a software engineer. Note that this is just a Q&A about being a software engineer – it does not include coding, homework help, etc.
I'd like audience questions to drive the discussion, but here are some example questions that I can answer, if requested, during the session:
* What’s a typical day like?
* Who decides what a product looks like (i.e. designs the UI)?
* Does someone review your code?
* Do you work alone or with others?
* What do you do if you need help?
* How’s work/life balance?
* How do you learn new skills?
* Do you do pair programming?
* What do you look for when hiring?
