Summary: <p>I want you to get the most out of being a software developer, or test engineer, or whatever you do that makes this podcast relevant to your life.</p> <p>By "get the most" I mean:</p> <ul> <li>the most fun</li> <li>the most value</li> <li>more career options</li> <li>probably more responsibility</li> <li>maybe even more money, that'd be cool</li> </ul> <p>I want you to start (or continue) studying and practicing your skills.</p> <p>But not just random practice, I've got a strategy to help you focus what to study.</p> <p>Why am I talking about this now? Here's some <a href="https://testandcode.com/pybites" rel="nofollow">background on how I re-learned how to have fun with code refactoring</a> through code challenges.</p> <p>I'm going to write up the whole list as a blog post, which I'll share first with my <a href="https://www.patreon.com/testpodcast" rel="nofollow">Patreon Supporters</a>, second with my <a href="https://us5.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=1f123c581ab0df2737f3174b9&id=9db722df54" rel="nofollow">email list</a> and <a href="http://pythontesting.net/slack/" rel="nofollow">slack channel</a> and then as an actual post somewhere.</p><p>Sponsored By:</p><ul><li> <a rel="nofollow" href="https://testandcode.com/pybites">PyBites Code Challenges</a>: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://testandcode.com/pybites">Self-contained Python Code Challenges you can code and verify in the browser. </a> </li></ul><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/testpodcast">Support Test & Code - Software Testing, Development, Python</a></p><p>Links:</p><ul> <li> <a title="practicing-programming - Steve Yegge" rel="nofollow" href="https://sites.google.com/site/steveyegge2/practicing-programming">practicing-programming - Steve Yegge</a> — essay</li> <li><a title="The Ultimate Code Kata - Jeff Atwood" rel="nofollow" href="https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-ultimate-code-kata/">The Ultimate Code Kata - Jeff Atwood</a></li> <li><a title="Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years - Peter Norvig" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.norvig.com/21-days.html">Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years - Peter Norvig</a></li> <li> <a title="PyBites Code Challenges" rel="nofollow" href="https://codechalleng.es/via/testandcode">PyBites Code Challenges</a> — Hone your Python Skills, in the browser</li> <li> <a title="CheckiO" rel="nofollow" href="https://checkio.org/">CheckiO</a> — JavaScript & Python challenges</li> <li> <a title="Exercism" rel="nofollow" href="https://exercism.io/">Exercism</a> — code practice</li> <li> <a title="Codewars" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.codewars.com/">Codewars</a> — Train with Programming Challenges/Kata </li> <li> <a title="Python Morsels " rel="nofollow" href="https://www.pythonmorsels.com/">Python Morsels </a> — Challenges emailed to you once a week</li> <li><a title="subreddit of code challenges" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/dailyprogrammer/">subreddit of code challenges</a></li> </ul>
