What I thought when I started working as an engineer

What I thought after working as an engineer for 2 weeks

It's been two weeks since I started working as a Rails engineer. It ’s only two weeks, I would like to write down what I thought there.

The knowledge of the reference person and the knowledge of the tutorial are not enough

It's natural. However, I feel that no matter how many times I go around the Rails Tutorial, I will not acquire the skills necessary to work in practice. You can also understand why companies are looking for experienced engineers.

That's why I feel that I need the experience of creating applications by myself rather than working in the field or relying on school.

What are the skills required in practice?

Selection of information

I think there are various opinions about this, but what I feel is that I feel that the ability to select the necessary information from the vast amount of information on the project is very important.

I feel that reading, understanding, and using code created by other people is a difficult ability to develop just by reading reference books or going to school.

Have some choice

How many options can you have to solve a problem? I feel that the better people have more choices and can choose them appropriately.

What I can do now is to increase my options. Learn by looking at someone else's code, think about why you wrote this code I feel these are very important.

Trying to understand what you don't understand

This isn't just for business, but to be honest, it's full of things I don't understand. Continuing the effort to understand it is I feel that it will greatly affect the speed of future growth.

Engineers are hard but interesting

I don't think there is a profession that makes me so happy when I can do it. Writing code can be difficult, but it's still interesting. I will cherish this feeling and continue to do my best.
