#018 Being a Software Engineer | Lauren Reeves
Ever wonder what it's like to be a software engineer? I'm a total noobie, so I ask basic questions like the difference between an engineer and developer. I also ask what a normal day looks like for her. We later talk about other topics such as her story, being a woman of color engineer, and tips for college students.
Lauren Reeves is a chill, down-to-earth, and sweet person. I appreciate her chatting with me.
