My journey to CTO
So some people have posted few comments on my last post on becoming a CTO, one of the main things to come out of that was 'context', how did I get here etc. So I thought it was a good idea to give you a quick brief timeline
- Started development in my free time circa 1995
- My parents told me this computer thing wouldn't make it so became a Print and Media operator in 1998
- The computer thing did take off so self taught HTML and CSS 2008
- Got my first junior job in 2010 working six months for free
- Sometime around 2012 I started to learn PHP after finishing JavaScript
- Made mid level developer by 2015
- Senior developer by 2018 - at this point I was learning Vue and Laravel more
- 2022 I retrained in Python and Made CTO
That gives you some idea as to how I got where I am. The thing is I'm still not sure I'm ready for the roll and the other thing and this is a big one, am I ready to pretty much stop coding? This will be something we will touch on in the coming posts.
The response to the lats post was awesome and I hope in the coming posts you folks stick around and see what and how this works out.
