Hello World!
Hello everyone! I am Rolando Andrade, and this is my first blog entry.
In my career, I’ve started dozens of projects. Different languages, different frameworks, but they all start the same way: A console printing Hello World.
No matter the complexity, the important part is simply starting. Today, after way too many excuses and a healthy dose of procrastination, I’m finally printing my own “Hello World” to the blogosphere.
I’ve always wanted to blog, but the fear of failure (and the “who cares what I think?” syndrome) held me back. But recently, I’ve been helping friends navigate their own tech journeys, and I realized something.
I love helping people find their way. I won’t drag you to the finish line—you have to walk it yourself—but I can point you in the right direction.
Whether it’s career advice, debugging life, or just finding balance, I’ve realized I have insights worth sharing. Privately, I can help a few. Publicly? Maybe I can help a few more.
To keep up with my ramblings, subscribe and follow me on socials. It’s free, and always will be.
I’m excited to start this journey. Whether you’re a junior dev or a senior engineer, I hope you find something useful here. Let’s see where this adventure goes!
If you enjoy the content, please don’t hesitate to subscribe and leave a comment! I would love to connect with you and hear your thoughts on the topics I cover.
