21:37 Share

I want you to get the most out of being a software developer, or test engineer, or whatever you do that makes this podcast relevant to your life.

By "get the most" I mean:

• the most fun

• the most value

• more career options

• probably more responsibility

• maybe even more money, that'd be cool

I want you to start (or continue) studying and practicing your skills.

But not just random practice, I've got a strategy to help you focus what to study.

Why am I talking about this now? Here's some background on how I re-learned how to have fun with code refactoring) through code challenges.

I'm going to write up the whole list as a blog post, which I'll share first with my Patreon Supporters), second with my email list) and slack channel) and then as an actual post somewhere.
