"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.
The more experience you have, the more you'll realize software development is the only field where getting the job is harder than doing the actual job.
Imagine what a badass developer you'd be if you had finished all the courses and projects you started.
In my experience, great programmers are humble af. It's the insecure "smart people" who are arrogant.
You never really learn: - Python, JavaScript, C, C++ or Solidity - SQL, NoSQL - AWS, GCP, or Azure - Etc. Until you have to use it to build a system.
Focus on providing value. People want apps to solve their problems. They don't care about the language you used to build it.
