At the time of writing, there is only me, Heck Lee. I want to teach you how to manage your programming or software projects better so you can get them done faster with better results.
Who is this Site For?
From the owner of a project or business all the way down to the team lead, this site is for you. This includes someone looking to have an idea brought to fruition by hiring freelancers just as much as someone that wants to hire a full-time team. This might be helpful if you are starting a career and don’t know which direction to go.
I don’t think this will be very helpful for current coders unless you are looking for a career change, but we can see where the questions and articles take us.
Why Should You Be Here?
I aim to answer all of the base-level questions most other resources miss. As someone who doesn’t have a college degree in development or computer science, I learned everything the hard way. I’ve made all the mistakes. I want to ensure you don’t make the same mistakes.
I promise I have been up late at night googling, YouTubing, and reading books only to find they are missing some of the most basic information, and they will leave you out in the cold. If you need to know so, you can get the job done. You have come to the right place.
I’m going to help you get the job done better and faster.
Details About Me
I have been managing developers for over 15 years now. It started on the side as a hobby project around 2004, and I would hire and manage up to 4 developers at a time. For the next 6 years, I did this on and off until 2010, when I decided to make a little money by building things people needed.
During this time, I worked on several people’s websites that had started to grow past the point of needing a static page and had just started understanding they could connect their site to other systems or make their website do something for their business. This ranged from e-commerce and dropshipping sites before that was a thing to online art galleries and systems to manage online ordering and shipping integrated with other platforms such as eBay.
Fast forward another 5 years of successful project management, and I got my first job offer without me putting in any applications or otherwise “looking.” I learned a ton! Not only did I learn about managing and building a team of over 20 people. I also learned some important business and life lessons I hope to impart.
A few years later, just after finishing the project at my first job, I was starting to feel like a 5th wheel. I was offered another job to work on something even more exciting and complex. That is where I’m at today.
Unlike most of my past jobs, this current job includes a lot of legacy code that our team must keep running while we work to upgrade the codebase and add new features. This, by far, is the most complex job I have worked on and the most rewarding in new challenges.
