Engineering Digest #1
--
I’m starting my new weekly digest that will be primarily focused on 👉 engineers and tech savvy entrepreneurs 👈.
A lot of folks are reaching out to me lately asking about what should they read or study to become better engineers (Type 1 https://teachyourselfcs.com), how to prepare for the interviews in Silicon Valley companies, where to find their next ideas or what challenges to take on next in their career.
I read A LOT and filter out a lot of not worthy readings (it takes a lot of mental energy btw…). So, consider me your personal online bullshit filter :)
Make sure to follow me here on FB if you are interested, like and share if you like these digests (feedback is highly appreciated), and let’s get started 🕶 🗞
