Interviewee

It depends on how you use your time there. The degree itself won’t make you a great developer, but the structure, peer environment, and access to resources can be incredibly useful. For me, university helped me explore a wide range of topics and gave me the confidence to pursue tech more seriously.

Interviewer

Well,ma next question is:
What did you learn during your 5 years in the Software Engineering department ,both in terms of your field of study and your social life?

Interviewee

Technically, I learned the foundations, data structures, system design, algorithms, and how to
approach problems methodically. Socially, I learned how to work with diverse groups, present my ideas, and deal with uncertainty. University isn’t just about what you study, it’s also about learning who you are and how you work best.

Interviewer

Good,next questions:
Is there anything you regret not doing during university, or something you did that you now wish you hadn't?

Interviewee

I sometimes wish I had networked more, attended more tech meetups, joined open source earlier, or built more projects collaboratively. I also might have stressed less about some courses and spent more time exploring things I actually enjoyed building. But overall, every choice taught me something.

Interviewer

Good. Finally, would you like to share a message with our audience and us that I haven’t brought up?

Interviewee

Don’t wait to feel “ready” before you start something. You’ll never feel fully prepared, and that’s okay. Just build. Learn. Share. Whether it’s a simple app, a blog post, or a failed attempt, it all adds up.

Also, don’t let comparison steal your pace. Everyone’s journey in tech looks different. Some people start early, some switch later. Some love LeetCode, some don’t. What matters most is staying consistent, being curious, and showing up, even on days you feel stuck.

Lastly, tech is changing fast. AI, tools, frameworks, they’re evolving daily. Instead of fearing it, learn how to adapt. Use them. Play with them. The best developers aren’t the ones who know everything, they’re the ones who know how to learn anything.

Interviewer

That’s a great message.
