Why HN links it
Linked as a series on moving from being interested in software to being effective at it. It was recommended in an Ask HN thread on becoming a software engineer.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
How I got into technology and have not yet fizzled out.
What Hacker News says?
This series is excellent on crossing the chasm from interested to effective: https://lowlyswe.substack.com . Code (not study, code ) 50+ hours/week for a couple years.
