How stackoverflow works?

Nov. 8, 2016 - January 25, 2017
Introduction
It is a long journey for Julia to get updated with latest technologies. She laughed about it when she went to meet people from companies, she heard a term called "reinvent yourself". How she could do better through this process. She stopped to attend the events like speed dating format to meet employers, she knew that she had to catch up, and she did not cover the basic questions very well. Do you use a source control system? How do you test a pen?

Those days are long gone. Work alone as a development team. But Julia has one. She has to take chance to develop all skills she likes to have through the years.

Julia knows that only way she can get better is to make current employer happy - by her favorite career coach Kevin O'Leary. No wonder Julia had to write logs for every day activities, and then find her weakness by her own, and then catch up.

So, she started to question about stackoverflow.com, watched 5 or 6 videos from Joel, and played Joe's videos again and again when she worked out at her living room, and then one day she heard that Joe shared his personal story, how he wrote blogs and then so lonely, after 5 or 6 years, but one day he had this idea like stackoverflow.com. From blog writing to the idea of stackoverflow, Joel gave credit for his small habit to write blogs.

Humble to do a small thing every day. That is the way to get chance to be the best.

Log of study:
