Bought my first MBp

In all the tutorials that I have watched about programming, I saw the tutor was using a MacBook pro to develop on. So I bought one (15", late 2016), with the thought that I would learn faster to program.

Attended Albert Heijn's CodeCamp

In cooperation with Code Avengers, Albert Heijn organised a day on which 150 employees could learn the basics of programming. I was one of them! 🤓

Learning to program went better than expected. I searched for a job and found one! I quit my job as a Team Leader at Albert Heijn and started to work full-time as a Junior Software Developer at Service2Fruit. My first software job! 😄
