"The most damaging phrase in the language is.. it's always been done this way” —Grace Hopper
"I wish I had started coding 6 months ago..." Make sure you won't be saying this in 6 months.
The main issue I see with developers, They lack confidence Put yourself out there Somebody is going to appreciate your skills
Never underestimate how much coding you can learn in 6 months. Never underestimate how much coding you can forget in 6 weeks.
"In a room full of top software designers, if two agree on the same thing, that's a majority." —Bill Curtis
Am I a good developer or am I'm mostly just better at googling stuff than everybody else?
Some of the best developers I've met didn't want to apply for the job they had because "they didn't meet all the requirements..."
If you can't even print "Hello World!" on a terminal Stop worrying about the best way to learn coding or the best language Stop worrying about choosing the wrong path (frontent, backend, fullstack, ...) Instead, focus on getting started. You'll figure things out along the way.
Stop asking: - How can I learn to code? - What's the best way to learn programming? - How can I progress faster? - What’s the best programming language for beginners? - How do I get better? Start practicing.
Don't envy money. Envy the developers who can fix a bug without using on StackOverflow.
