How can I become a successful engineer?
Three common things that I see in the successful engineer
1. Proactive
-
Read the documentation is a MUST
-
Engineering !== Copy & Paste
- Try searching for an answer BEFORE asking
How NOT to ask?
-
"Hi there"
-
Too trivial problems
-
Expect other people do the work for you
-
Showing that you are lazy
What is proactive, really?
Proactive
Put in the simplest of terms, being proactive means doing the things you need to do before you need to do them—like regularly changing the oil in your car instead of waiting for it to start sputtering and spewing smoke
I everyone "prefer" to work with
proactive people
- Communicating well
- Ask when you don't understand
- Don't pretend that you understand while you don't
- Inform people when you're not there vân vân mây mây)
- Manage your tasks
- Plan ahead
- Have a to-do list and prioritise tasks
- Manage your calendar, book meetings in advance
- Honour your commitments
- Follow up and provide timely updates
- Building up your skills
Building up your skills
a.k.a
You need to
KEEP LEARNING
Take action based on where you want to be, not based on where you are 😏
Hành động dựa trên mục tiêu, chứ không phải dựa vào vị trí hiện tại
2. Find your edge
Edge is that extra advantage you have over your competitor. Something you have that your opponent or other players in the game you are playing do not have.
- Technical skill 🙄
- People skill
- Communication skill
-
Networking skill
- Join community → audience/presenter/organizer
- Follow great people
"Smart" is not a property It's a thing that could be learn
Every great individual became exceptional for reasons
Are you able to have the same tradeoff?
AND what's your tradeoff?
3. Have heart
a.k.a có tâm
Anh chụp ảnh không "có tâm" gì cả?
Dedicated
Passion
Integrity
- Có trách nhiệm
- Có bug không "cãi nhau" với tester
- Code của mình phải test trước khi dí lên staging
- Commit chi tiết, đúng format
- PR phải có screenshots, có chi tiết vì sao bạn chọn hướng đi như vậy, giải thích/thêm comment những đoạn code khó, đề cập đến việc thế nào để test, có thể break chỗ nào trong ứng dụng đang chạy, vân vân mây mây
- Tôn trọng đồng nghiệp khi code review, không coi thường người khác. Góp ý nhã nhặn, mang tính xây dựng, không công kích cá nhân.
4. Suggest
Manage your goal, targets, and tasks.

Ask yourself everyday:
Have you become better than yesterday?
Trending mới về lập trình trong thời gian tới?
Anh ơi ở bên Sing tuyển nhiều vị trí/ công nghệ/ tech stack nào
Em mới chỉ có 1-2-3 năm kinh nghiệm thì có cơ hội không?
Anh ơi em không giỏi thuật toán leetcode lắm thì có cơ hội không
Sau bao lâu tôi có thể trở thành Tech Lead
Thank you!
