  • For communication, its one of the hardest things to master for non-native english speakers, and being on that situation most of the time, I think one of the things you must do is to keep on communicating with the articulate ones, its like kind of a practice if you would say. Great vid!

  • "Toastmasters", haven't heard that in decades. You touch on so many good points with this one. Acknowledging and owning up to your mistakes ties in so well with integrity and the other positive traits. Becoming/being trustworthy is really important to being given more opportunities. When you find a problem you need to raise, try to bring a solution/resolution as well. lol I should have known you would get to that one.

    • Toastmasters has been around a long time. I can’t exactly remember when I first heard of them, but it may have been in college. It is a group venture, which you join to achieve goals. Costs some $$ to join and attend. This presentation by Tim, was a good one! Once I got into a project (or job), I made sure to show some perseverance, in solving problems in completing that task or assign, by asking questions and testing, then querying shareholders of their results. As always, thanks Tim and have a great year in 2023!

  • 13:56 I think this advice needs some nuance. Some places would prefer you did the opposite. Instead of spending time trying to solve an issue on your own, ask for help asap, so you can be given the answer by someone who already knows, and move on to your next task. Developers are expensive, and it's cheaper to leverage existing knowledge in an organization rather than struggle for an hour and come up with a solution that won't pass a code review. It's not my preferred way of working personally. But I've worked in places where this is the advice I was given, and I can't fault the logic.

  • I completly agree! I think I have okay soft skills and good enough software skills. But I remember trying to help out someone who worked on a program I helped setup, he worked in my office. They were so dead set on being a stick in the mud with no flexibility at all it was really difficult to work with them and I tried my best to explain things like this too them, but we ended up getting in a bit of a heated argument lol.

    • Not even close. ChatGPT can sole simple problems, but lots of real-world problems don’t fall into that category. Anything proprietary or involving the interaction of complex custom systems, for example, wouldn’t be solvable.
