double duties part duex
Splitting work and school so far has been alright, but I’m kind of worried about what it might mean later in the semester.
I am definitely learning a lot working at Jackson, but what happens when I have a lot going on at school?
Speaking of learning a lot, here’s a few things I have picked up so far at Jackson:
- Programming in “the industry” is quite different from programming at school
- A solution isn’t necessarily the right solution just because it works and is fast
- There are standards that are in place that are kinda like unspoken rules at a secret club
- I actually like programming in Java
- It’s fairly similar to the languages I have been using
- Eclipse makes learning the language much easier with autocomplete and syntax checking
- I will never know it all, and I need to rely on others
- I have been put on projects where I literally know nothing
- People higher up aren’t the only ones that have good answers, many times my peers know as well
