Hey there, aspiring developers!

Today, let's uncover the secret to becoming a skilled problem solver in the world of development. It all starts with two important words: "why" and "how."

To tackle challenges effectively, we must first ask "why" to understand the root causes. This helps us gain insights and clarity about the problem at hand.

Once we grasp the "why," we shift our focus to the "how." This is where the real magic happens. We explore different strategies, techniques, and tools to find creative solutions.

Being a developer problem solver isn't just about technical skills. It's about having curiosity and persistence.


So, let's remember: ask "why" to understand, and use the power of "how" to solve. You have what it takes to master problem solving!

Happy coding!

How can you get a job as a self-taught developer?

This is what I will do if I start from scratch:

1) First, I will define what kind of developer I want to be:

- Frontend
- Backend
- Game developer
- Mobile developer, etc.

2) I will start researching/learning only the necessary skills to get me there – only the necessary skills:

- First, I will research or ask senior developers based on my choice.
- List out all the necessary skills to get me there.
- Gain enough skills, at least to secure an internship in a company.

3) I will start building small and demonstrable projects each week and share them with others:

- I will start building a small project every week and push it on GitHub.
- Meanwhile, I will share what I learned on different social media platforms. This will help me connect with like-minded people and document my journey.

4) I will start enhancing my portfolio and create a CV:

- When I say portfolio, you might think that I am referring to a website (No).
- Having a website is a plus, but what really matters as a developer is your GitHub and LinkedIn. Those are the two platforms you need to focus on.
- Then, I will build my CV filled with my latest projects to demonstrate what I can do.

5) Start applying for an internship (not a job again):

- At this stage, I will start looking for companies that are seeking potential developers based on my choice.
- Contact them and try to get my foot in the industry. Meanwhile, I can repeat steps 3 and 4.

6) Learn as much as possible and contribute as much as possible during your internship:

- Yes, as a developer, you have to constantly learn and update your knowledge.
- Give it your all regardless of the outcome. You might land a job at the same company where you took your internship. If you don't get hired, move on to the next opportunity.

7) Okay, this time you need to look for a job; you have already leveled up from the internship stage:

- Like I said, you don't have to apply for internships anymore. You have already passed that stage; you are now a junior developer. Find a position based on your career as a junior developer.
- Start leveling up from there.

Important note:

* Have faith in yourself and show up every day to do the job.

How long will it take, you ask?

* I would say 1 - 1.5 years to land my first junior position job.
