New Group for Philosophers Interested in Software Engineering
Caleb Ontiveros, who left the University of Notre Dame’s PhD program in philosophy to pursue a career in tech, is often asked by people studying philosophy how he transitioned to software engineering and programming.

Prompted by this, he has created a new Facebook group, Philosophers in Software Engineering. It’s purposes are to collect advice for philosophers interested in learning how to program or careers in software engineering and connect philosophers who transitioned from academic philosophy into careers in software engineering. Interested parties are welcome to request to join the group.
He has also created a Google document that he invites others to supplement: Resources on Software Engineering.
I was pleasantly surprised to see my article listed in the Doc. I am more than happy to speak with anyone who is thinking of transitioning from a career in higher education to programming.
Excellent and timely for me! Thanks all, I will be participating as much as I can.
I’m currently working as a Programmer Writer and dropped a link to the http://www.iacap.org/ in there. Cheers!
What about people that do not have facebook? Is there some other venue for non-facebookers to connect? thank you.
I left a PhD at Syracuse to pursue tech. It’s gone incredibly well. If anyone wants to talk about transitioning from academia to tech, feel free to email me!
