#3 - When To Say Enough
Taking a serious look at what empowers you to be a developer. but also looking at when you're no longer wanting to be a developer for where you are. Asking the serious questions that you need to answer, and then answering those questions - by looking at this, you can build a picture of whether you've got to the end of what you can do with any particular company or project.
Speaker Bio:
Christopher Miller
My life with computers began when I was three, with my dad coming home with a spectrum 48k kit, which we soldered together. I have loved computing my entire life.
My life in coding started in 2000 when I left college with a BTEC National Diploma in Computer Studies. Back when web design was just text, and we had to make things work as simply as possible, I set up the only web design company at the time in my local area. That ran successfully for several years, but in 2013 I closed the business due to ill health, by 2014 I had finished all contracts and took 3 years out to recover.
Come 2016, I was ready to start working again, and discovered my skills were out of date so no one would hire me. I went to School of Code to bring my skills up to date, and immediately got a job at in February 2018 at West Midlands Media. I moved on from there in October 2018 to Jump 24, where I’m now a full time PHP Developer.
