front end developer

I brought on Surya, the technical founder of Argonaut. In his experience, he's seen that user-centered developers are not just a bonus, but a necessity to create a successful product, and we dove deep into this part of the conversation to show you exactly why that is. You'll hear about how high ownership within a team can lead to a profound understanding of the domain, resulting in a ripple effect of expansion and growth.

With his wealth of experience, Surya shared his most potent advice for new developers and provided a sneak peek into his hiring process. And for those job seekers, we discussed the importance of relevance and how contributing to open source could give you an edge. He shared a real-life success story of a hire made thanks to open-source contributions, highlighting the immense value of curiosity and problem-solving.

This episode is perfect for brand-new developers wanting to know what can make them stand out when trying to land their first job, especially at a startup.

In today's Money Moments episode, we're joined by Ryan Potter, friend, Senior Front End Developer, and all round good guy. 

We chat to Ryan about his journey with money - the good and the not-so-good - plus dig into what he's learned in his 10+ year career as a developer. 

Specifically, we chat about:

• What it was like graduating into a recession in NZ and starting at $33k in 2010 
• His strategy in negotiating salaries and  expected salary ranges for the different experience levels of Front End Developers
• Why Ryan thinks that side hustles aren't worth the time investment 
• Why it's vital to always be learning, especially in the tech space
• What it's like buying a home as the sole income earner in a de facto relationship without an agreement

And there is plenty more goodness in there, so start listening now!

In this candid conversation, I talked with someone trying to find his next developer job. Despite applying to over 500 jobs, he's only had a handful of interviews, faced rejection at the final round, struggled with coding challenges, and even had a job offer rescinded. I dug into what might be holding him back, while also discussing job boards, the importance of cover letters and networking, and how to stand out in a crowded job market. This episode is perfect for anyone who's tired of job rejection and wants to learn from someone who's been there.

Are you wondering what your first day will be like when you finally land your first developer position? I was scared. I thought I’d get fired and found out as a fraud. In this podcast episode, I shared what it was like for me. I left no stone unturned and shared an excessive amount of advice for people that might feel anxious about their first job.

As a bonus, I shared my experiences with my 2nd and 3rd developer jobs too. I hope this episode helps!

Whether you’re an aspiring developer building out portfolio projects, or a software engineer building out their website or app in hopes to get users, an effective landing page will go A LONG WAY in helping convince users that what you’ve built is worth their time.

A long time ago, we used to get away with just being code monkeys, but nowadays, being able to code is only part of your job. You’re not just a coder, you’re a problem solver.

What problem are you solving? Well, you have to take the time to understand what problems people are having and what type of solutions could make those peoples’ lives easier.

A secret that some of the higher quality bootcamps don’t share with you is that they teach their students to build products, not just random personal projects. Your portfolio projects should be driven around building something that solves at least one problem for someone and gives them the result they’re looking for. This demonstrates a user-centered mindset that is highly valued by almost any company.

This is a different way of thinking for many software engineers, but this is key not only to exponentially increasing your value as a software engineer but also to making it much more likely that your side project could eventually bring in additional profit one day.

I invited 3 graduates on to review Turing, a software engineering program. These reviews are honest, no-BS, reviews meant to get past the marketing that each coding school puts out there. All 3 went through the front end track and shared the pros and cons. 8 months is a certainly a long time for a full-time immersive program and the students' mental health was certainly one of my concerns. We covered all of it. Hopefully this helps you on your journey.
