1,000 Pomodoros: First Gig Edition :D
Over the last seven months I have spent a thousand pomodoros (25-minute blocks), i.e. five hundred hours, in pursuit of a new career as a software developer. The bulk of my time has been spent on the following:
- Studying coding (40% => 200 hours),
- Writing code (40% => 200 hours)
- Writing about this journey (10% => 50 hours),
- Networking and actively applying for jobs. (10% => 50 hours)
I am grateful to the team at Gleam for this opportunity to learn the ropes. I am ever increasingly aware of how much there is for me to learn, but I will give it my
best.
Wish me luck!
