Welcome to First's Newsletter
A weekly post from my experiences and lessons learned, all about coding, careers, health, and lifestyle
Hello there! ๐ Welcome to my newsletter, and thanks for being here.
I started this newsletter mainly for myself โ to summarize and capture all the valuable moments from my experiences in day-to-day life as a software engineer. I'd love to share more about coding, technical challenges I've faced, the software development process, collaboration, and how I live and work as a team player on an engineering team.
Not only work-related topics, I will capture what I've learned from every aspect of my life that I think might be valuable for others too, such as travel, lifestyle, health (I love running and trail running so much), and whatever else comes to mind.
You might have found me in some post, and thus the post brought you here. ๐ I'm glad you enjoy and learn something from me.
Who is First?
Iโm First Sutham, a software engineer. I previously worked at Thoughtworks, Unity. Iโve been coding since I was 16, but if we count only full-time job, itโs 5 years since I graduate and working in this industry. I lived in Helsinki, Finland.
I passionate on coding and technical, yes. but also I love to improve the process in team and organization as well. Since I learned that as a software engineer, 70% of our work (or even more) is collaboration and the rest are coding or technical work. We talk more than we code, especially when we work in large team or large company.
So, I think a better collaboration will give you more time to do what I love (coding!)
Again, This newsletter is mainly for myself โ to summarize and capture all the valuable moments from my experiences in day-to-day life.
I wish my story would help you overcome something in some ways. If you have any questions and you think I might could help you, let me know. I will try my best to answer anonymously in DM or in next post ๐
