Write some software, give it away for free

A software engineer shares their experience of writing and releasing free software, highlighting the benefits of open-source development and community engagement. This approach can lead to increased visibility, collaboration, and learning opportunities. To apply this, engineers can start by identifying a problem or need in their industry and creating a solution that is freely available. By doing so, they can contribute to the open-source community and potentially gain recognition and new skills. This approach can also help to build a personal brand and network.
