Honestly, it's okay to cry. It's okay to have a bit of an identity crisis when you encounter these difficulties.
Very well said, Cat. This is great advice, not just for code newbies too.
I definitely agree. This isn't just for noobs, but for anyone at all stages of their dev journey.
I do remember breaking down a LOT when I started out because I kept fighting that jerk of an inner voice saying, "lol u can't do this cuz ur not smart."
As a newbie.. THANKS! Really needed this! Currently had to step back from a project, this has inspired me to keep pushing.
I need to remind myself of what you mentioned more frequently.
Thanks for sharing 🤩.
Beautifully said :)
Nice advice! I second you on writing 50 ifs and then refactoring.
Sometimes junior devs asked me it they should go for a degree or not. Unlike other professions you can code without a degree. Just Imagine a surgeon without one.
The advice is: Try to get a degree now. You can learn in udemy, youtube and lots of online courses. But there are solid stuff you only learn at university.
If you want to build a cottage you don't need a strong foundation. If your goal is to build skyscrapers you should. It is up to you.
Sorry for hijacking your post :)
Wow interesting you made feel stronger deep down thanks for the motivation 👊👊
Code newbie keeping a mental note of this post. Thanks for the valuable advice!
