👋 Hey guys! As a Computer Science major and a Christian, I'm wondering how your personal beliefs (whether you're religious, atheist, or agnostic) directly affect your career, and how they are/aren't expressed in what you do in your industry.
Rephrases of what I'm asking:
- 💭 | 💻 Do you keep your personal beliefs separate from work? Is it appropriate for them to intersect?
- 💭 --> 💻 Does your faith fuel or inspire you to code? Is that even possible in this kind of industry?
- 💭 --> 💻, 👩🚒, 🤼 How do you express who you are when you program, choose your job or interact with teammates?

I don't think that i take conscious decision based on my beliefs (on my case i'm agnostic), but of course that indirectly all decision that i make is affected on my beliefs. Actually, when i'm developing i try to make stuffs, use patterns, that my team is going to get understanding, instead what i believe. I've been thinking a lot about these questions, and sometimes it's hard to answer because i've never had noticed about how much of me my code represents, i just thought that it was toc hahahah
As a fellow Christian I attempt to let the character of Jesus become evident through the quality of my code, and most importantly, my conduct within my company and leadership of my team. For me personally this looks like:
As I've listed these points I think it's important that I point out my use of the words attempt and try are extremely important in this context. As much as I attempt show these characteristics, at the end of the day I'm human and subject to failure. My only hope is that the people I lead and/or interact with see past me and instead look to Christ and give glory to Him.
This is the best thing, I have ever read on this platform.. You doing great sir...oyes I give God glory for you...
