College projects teach us how to make things work.
Production systems teach us how to make things work safely, at scale, and with other people.
In this webinar, I’ll share what changed for me after moving from college projects to real production code — including mistakes, surprises, and skills I had to learn on the job.
We’ll talk about:
Why production code looks very different from college code
How to read large, existing codebases
What code reviews, Git workflows, and deployments really involve
Common mistakes junior developers make in real projects
How to adapt faster in your first tech job
This session is based on real experience as a junior software engineer, not theory or senior-level advice.
