Becoming a Successful Software Dev

Don’t market yourself as a one-trick pony

Long gone are the days job candidates could impress prospective employers by selling themselves as a “C# developer” or “Java specialist.” Today’s tech landscape requires flexibility, and for developers, that means staying language agnostic. Sure, everyone has preferences and expertise in certain areas over others, but the key is to frame those particulars as strengths rather than limitations.

Employers want engineers open to learning new skills, and ones that are adept at doing so. Having a breadth of quality work on GitHub is a great way to demonstrate this.
