Blog post #3

   Winter break reading Hello again! I was having my winter break, so it has been a while since my last post. During my free time, I had time to read some literature and decided to introduce you to one specific chapter. I chose this chapter because I consider myself a pragmatic person and wanted to find out how I could utilize that feature in this field. And after reading that I think that it might be beneficial to you too! In the first chapter of The Pragmatic Programmer (1999), Andrew Hunt and David Thomas emphasize a philosophy of thoughtful, informed, and balanced decision-making in software development.

I have already completed one specialist vocational qualification and have a few years of work experience. Then I realized that every job I have worked at, I have kind of played the role of a computer monkey. Now I am studying information processing science in university of Oulu, and I feel like I am on the right track. I just have had to look in many directions before I found the right one. A good programmer is someone who always looks both ways before crossing a one-way street. - Doug Linder I am not a good writer. Is that a smart thing to say, I am writing a blog post after all. Well at least it is true, and I think many can relate to that. As a child I used to write a lot. I wrote fantasy novels and read a lot of books. I do not know where that passion vanished, but I want it back. The most helpful advice I have g...
