In my opinion, the best blogs on software engineering are 'Joel on Software', 'Coding Horror', and 'A List Apart'. These blogs offer practical insights and are written by industry veterans. However, I strongly believe that blogs alone won't make you a great engineer. You need to get your hands dirty with coding, understand the nuances, and solve real-world problems. Reading is good, but applying what you read is what makes you better.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I am 4 months into my first job as a product manager. I have never coded in my life except for a basic coding course in college. While I am always eager to understand technical concepts and tend to ask a lot of questions around the same I still feel there's a huge gap in communication. 

This leads to poorly estimated timelines, and often difficulty in assessing feasibility of ideas.

I wish to learn more about software architecture, data management systems and the development processes in general. 

While I know I lack technical expertise, I don't want to discount the possibility of this just being a communication issue within the team. This is a series B startup just entering the growth phase, so no proper processes are set up as of now - again something I will have to streamline.

My question is to all the product managers especially who don't come from a technical background - how did you bridge this gap?

Must read books for software engineers

Software Engineer

This is something that helped me a lot during my Engineering days and some of it I even used during my job. It is great to work through these problems out of curiosity as it builds great intuition around computing and algorithms.

This course provides an introduction to mathematical modeling of computational problems.

[Thread] Share resources to the best content you would recommend to someone trying to learn more about Software Engineering?

I had picked up DDIA and was wondering if reading the entire book is actually worth it. Is it better to just go through some GitHub repos or blogs that summarise the book well?

Also what are some books that have actually helped you through your software engineering career and you would highly recommend?

Hi everyone, I am recently graduated software developer. I want to know how do you guys keep updated with the new technologies coming up. Is there any particular newsletter or blogs which I can refer everyday.
TIA

How to be better as a software developer

I work in a startup. We're currently on an ongoing pivot. I started working here as a founding engineer. I have worked here for around 2 years now. Majorly i worked on frontend part with react native (which is totally a new thing for me when i joined). During my tenure here there was no senior engineer who could review my work and give me the skills i required to build my career. Our founder was happy if the app was working fine. During the initial phase we needed to launch the app as soon as possible so i quickly learned the basic things i needed to make an app with react native. In this time all of these things (js and web world) are very new to me as i was coming from developing native android apps with java. Now im trying to switch so that i can work with a team of experienced engineers. While attempting interviews for frontend engineer, I found that whatever I've done in my current job was nothing more than a college project and I really didn't got to learn any industry level stuff. I'm feeling like im still a fresher out of college. 

I tried working on my frontend skills but as we all know it's a very huge field. Html, css, js, frontend frameworks, hell lot of libraries.

I'm feeling so overwhelmed.

Whenever i attend a new interview i get to know new concepts which i never knew exist.


Any suggestions for me guys?

A friend of mine is working as an SDE 3, 7 YOE at a US listed firm. 

Looking to switch after having stayed at the current firm for 4.5+ years.

Would it be possible for some kind folks to share some good preparation resources/guidelines? 

Additionally, if there are podcasts/blogs that you feel are helpful to stay in touch with the latest trends then please do share that as well :) 

TIA!
