Mastering Concepts, Not Code as a Software Engineer
As Software Engineers, one of the first things we learn to do is how to write code. But what is code, really? In a literal definition, code is simply the exact instructions given to a computer to execute some task, these instructions being written by us, the human. But code goes deeper than that. Code is the implementations of comprehensive ideas, the abstractions of complex models into simpler ones, and the concretion of conceptual theories into reality. That’s a lot of word salad mostly, realistically code is how we create the road from point A to point B in the software we create.
