The Epsilon Principle of Becoming a Software Engineer

The truths that nobody told. And a fast and effective approach to a career in software engineering.

This gist debunks the idea that to be a software engineer/developer/anything you need a degree, a course, a background in math and science, a technical thinking or be very very smart, a geek, a genius... I hope it enables and motivates you to choose and follow the so easily accessible and so well paid career of a software engineer. This gist will be honest as fuck and based on my 15 years of experience in different software companies, including the one that I currently work in and have also founded. That's why it's a gist and not a medium post, and that's why it says "fuck" in it.

3 Requirements:

  1. Have an IQ > 120 - (Average is 100, Genius is 150+)
  2. Have access to a computer with a physical keyboard and an internet connection
  3. Be a Millennial or GenZ-er with an open mind
