„It’s been a while since I started as a Software Developer at Lean-Coders“—that’s what I want to say in a few years!
I’ve been developing for Lean-Coders since the summer of 2017. It’s been a great time, and the day I started writing code for Lean-Coders is also the day I got the awesome chance to be part of a fantastic team and start earning money while doing my favorite hobby, even without a graduation degree or something similar.
Currently, I would say Node.js is my main language, and frontend development is what I do most of the time.
I’ve worked with Angular 1 to 5 and also use technologies like GraphQL, TypeScript, Webpack, and so on. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be who I am today if I hadn’t met my awesome boss Christoph Ott, who gave me the bootcamp opportunity and encouraged me to read book after book on topics like JavaScript basics and Software Patterns to learn them from scratch.
While writing this blog entry, I thought about how I started coding, and I remembered that it happened when I was around 10 years old. I „wrote“—or „dragged and dropped“—my first projects using Visual Basic and continued with C++ in combination with Reverse Engineering to dive deeper into the world of development while creating process-manipulating software and/or projects.
I actually used Reverse Engineering to find space in a process or memory locations/pointers at runtime that held needed information or provided space to inject new functions.
After that, I wrote programs that got me deeper into games. I also used DLL Injection to achieve my goals, like aimbots—which is a program that automatically detects enemies in shooter games and aims at them when the key bound to the shoot function is clicked—wallhacks that allowed me to see through walls in the game, and so on.
After a short time, I started creating web pages using PHP and HTML, but I promised myself never to use PHP again and to start heading in the right direction the day I met Christoph.
I believe that Lean-Coders is a company that will be as big as Microsoft in the future, will write great code—as we do right now—and provide even better software to the public.
I’m sure you will hear a lot more about us in the future!
Stay tuned!
Stefan
