Two Month Review
I thought I would share a quick list of the things I’ve learnt in my first two months of work at my new company. The different items I listed don’t have the same weight, some are just tips or little hacks, some others are new frameworks or disciplines. I don’t claim to master everything in that list but I feel confident talking about these and explaining what they are to someone who would need to fill in for me.
