Day 10: A Reminder for Junior Devs dealing with Imposter Syndrome
Fabian @ederbit

Do you want to become a Developer? Great!

I have been working as an Engineer for over 5 years now. And I can tell you (from experience) for working in this industry, you need to

  • be comfortable feeling stupid,

  • consistently put in the effort for self-study,

  • and keep having fun!

So, here's the 1 Tip if you wanted to pursue a similar career path:

Learn the basics

Since you started reading this article, approx. 3 new framework have been released. By the time you finished a course on one of them, 5 more have been deprecated. But don't worry, you don't have to keep up. What remains, are the fundamentals.

After all, this is a long game.
