Hey everyone,

Currently in my junior year as student software engineer. I love to program, but still have a difficult time focusing on what path I would like to take. I hope to find some rioters in the same field to somewhat get down and chat with me by adding as a friend in League, also it's going to be something I have to do anyways for an assignment where I would need someone from a big company to sit down, chat through email, skype, or face to face. Rioters being the most responsive of any company I know, and really my preferred company to work for, even though I might not become one until after more years of fine tuning my programming. I would love to hear some of your stuff, and what best ways to fine tune my programming skills.

I'll take harsh criticism, it's the best medicine out there. Just wish for no haters or trolls in response to this thread.

Thanks You Guys :D

Greetings,

There are many paths in programming. I think the best advice is to follow your passion. Some programmers get geeked out over big data management. Others get super excited about making an interface look and feel awesome. From web to desktop, billing software to game code, the beauty about programming is that there are more flavors than Doritos.

Let me ask you this - what was your primary driver for wanting to get into software engineering?

One thing I find really interesting is playing with new languages, just to see what they're like, what other languages they remind me of, whether they have closures, what it feels like to write code in them.

I got stuck in a language rut once, and I became a much better programmer when I learned to think about programming as a craft, not as a specific language. I once made some really great PHP code even!

Feel free to add me in game, always happy to chat when I am online.

Barbarian Bill! My name is Bill!

Plus I'm a programmer at Riot.

Perhaps something should be done about this...
