If you're job hunting, build software that removes friction from your own work

[00:01] Okay, so question for people who are not [00:03] yet [00:04] in that cubicle. They are on the outside [00:07] trying to get some form of sustenance [00:09] through software development. What [00:11] advice would you have to those people [00:12] that are still trying to get in? [00:14] If it's just you right now and you've [00:16] built a whole bunch of hobby projects [00:18] through freeCodeCamp's like resources, [00:20] done some sort of passion projects to [00:22] kind of like, you know, prove that you [00:23] can build a real functioning web [00:25] application, then great. Now ask [00:27] yourself, it's like, what are the the [00:29] problems in my life that are presenting [00:31] the most friction? Uh what's an [00:32] opportunity for me to build some [00:33] software to like make my life a little [00:35] bit easier? And then build that. And [00:39] use these tools, use what you've learned [00:41] to build things that are of tremendous [00:43] value to you and don't let go, don't [00:45] stop working on them until you've seen [00:47] them through to completion. And you do [00:49] that once, guess what? That is exactly [00:52] the same loop that like a business needs [00:54] when a business needs custom software.
