[PD] Plan your Life as a Developer

[aishaathmanlali]

From Induction created by kfklein15: CodeYourFuture/Induction#7

Coursework content

The typical CodeYourFuture trainee (you) will have made a plan in their head on how to take an intensive training like ours and still find time to work, look after a family, and children, solve legal issues, get healthy, commute, etc. This plan is typically inaccurate to the actual time and energy levels needed to dedicate enough time to each one of the activities, particularly studying.

This plan will typically last until you graduate, at which point you will have planned to return to your everyday life until you find a job. We know that successful CYF graduates begin their lives as developers when they begin our course and continue throughout life.

If you want to be a developer, you have to act like a developer daily. Becoming a developer is not about getting a job. It’s about playing a role in software development weekly, daily, if possible.

Becoming a professional in this field requires constant improvement and practice. It doesn’t stop after your training. This training will be just the beginning. Whatever plan you make, you must project it for the rest of your life.

Well done for putting this together.

I really like your reflection and am glad the spreadsheet helped you. I added some comments about complex vocabulary, which you might use daily, so if you do, ignore my comments.
