<p>If you want to go into software engineering, just prepare your mind because you’re about to meet knowledge overload. 😫</p><p><br/></p><p>Be ready to learn, read, and then learn some more. Software engineering isn’t something you just walk into and say, “I got this.” </p><p><br/></p><p>Oh no, it’s a whole world on its own. The deeper you go, the more you realize you’ve only scratched the surface. </p><p><br/></p><p>Sometimes, I sit down to study, and after a few hours, it feels like I’ve read the entire internet, my brain starts buffering like a slow computer. 😫</p><p><br/></p><p>Software engineering is broad, like really broad. It’s not just coding one app and calling it a day. You’ve got web development, mobile apps, front-end, back-end, full-stack, data, systems, and so much more. </p><p><br/></p><p>Basically, if it involves software, a software engineer can do it (or at least figure out how).</p><p><br/></p><p>But the real thing is it’s challenging but also exciting. </p><p><br/></p><p>You’re literally learning how to build things that make life easier for people, so if you’re stepping into this field, come with curiosity, patience, and maybe some snacks, because you’ll be here a while.</p><p><br/></p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
