Our journey together began not so long ago. And I would like to share with you exactly how this happened.
For three years I practiced programming as a hobby in my free time. This was my answer to the question “What’s next?”. I didn’t see myself in physical work at an older age. Having a technical degree and confidence that it's never too late to learn, I wrote my first “Hello world!” program at the age of 25.
After the recruitment process, I was offered a paid two week trial period - that already was very pleasant. On the first day of the trial period, I was introduced to the “Friend in Brave” system. What does this actually mean? Each member of the team is actually your colleague and you can easily turn to him with any question and ask for support. With Jira and Kanban tables, we can easily track and plan our actions. That was also shown in practice at once.
For the first five days, the senior developer and I did tasks together, sometimes even in pair coding or in Google Meet conferences. That allowed me to quickly enter the project.
I find that our work as a team is very effective.
Our task is to make a high-quality product both visually and in the code component.
It is very easy for me as a beginner as there is no pressure and no rush.
Sanity.io turned out to be a very nice and flexible Headless CMS. I really liked their documentation, it allowed me to quickly get into the project. The atomic schema structure makes it very easy to scale an application. The ability to use different datasets gives field for testing and it is convenient for local deployments. It makes teamwork easier.
Vue.js is a simple and highly efficient JavaScript framework. With its help, the implementation accelerates significantly. Convenient component decomposition.
Tailwind CSS is one of the most popular CSS frameworks in the world. Its customization and built-in features save a lot of time. GraphQL, an optimized API query language, is very easy for beginners.
Gridsome and Netlify are highly efficient tools for building and deploying a project. Gridsome, thanks to its modularity, is very suitable for both small and large projects. Netlify, as a leader in cloud computing, needs no introduction.
Here at Bravelab, everyone can make their dreams come true.
At 28, I officially became a programmer - and I am very happy about it. I want to sincerely thank all the people who helped me in this process. Bohdan, for pointing out and recommending Bravelab, Lena and Dina for the great recruitment and onboarding process, and last but not least Adam, Jurek, and Krystyna for everyday, consistent work on the bravelab.io website project.
