finished

I just finished my computer science degree and now I'm working as a developer. But if I was to start coding from scratch again, this is how I would do it. First things first, please stop learning every freaking language stack there is out there. I did the same mistake and tried to learn every freaking stack that there is out there. And it made everything worse. Please pick that one language, that one language is preferable, easy like Python or Javascript. You learn those basics and master it. Because when you're going to change language, basics and the concepts are the same. It's just that the syntax are different. So it's so much easier for you to learn a new language when you master the basics of one. Another one is build those tiny projects. And make the scope tiny because I have like endless of projects in my repo that I never finish. Create that to-do app, create that calculator, automate some boring tasks, but keep the scope small, make it finish. It's because you're learning so much more from that than watching those YouTube videos that you're not sure if I actually know how to code or if I am really good at copy and pasting. The next one is I would post my progress online, even if it's GitHub, forum, Reddit, or on TikTok. Posting your projects, accountable for what you're making. And it also helps you land opportunities. You know, there's people out there watching your project, you might want to hire you. I sadly never attend a hackathon, but I was lucky enough to actually host one. And I saw how much fun people have out there. You not only learning about writing code, you are also learning about working as a team. Because as a developer, you will most likely be working in a team. Last stop, don't worry about being perfect. You will never stop learning. I still feel like I don't know anything. But that's something you have to go through. You're learning on the way. And that's a mentality to this field. Because if not, imposter syndrome is gonna bite your ass. Consistency beats perfection. So write that messy code, clean it up later. That's how you actually grow as a developer. If there's anything in me, let me know in the comments and follow me for more content.
