What did you think Software Engineering was about before you started this course? After the first week, in what way has your concept of Software Engineering changed?
I thought that software engineering only involved coding and creating applications using code. However, there is a lot more processes that go along with it that I'm slowly learning and finding out. For example, when you are finished writing code, you should have it peer reviewed have it tested before making any commits to a working codebase. I think my view has changed in that software engineering requires a lot more thinking and problem solving. Instead of just writing code, you really need to think about how you're writing the code, making sure that it's well documented, and making sure that it is sustainable and working in the future.
